Calymene blumenbachii, trilobites
Specimens of this Devonian trilobite in various positions. Trilobites had a carapace, or shell. Trilobites were arthropods as crustaceans, spiders and insects are today

Calymene Blumenbachii: A Glimpse into the Devonian World of Trilobites This print showcases a collection of Calymene Blumenbachii trilobites, an intriguing invertebrate species that thrived during the Devonian period, approximately 393 to 385 million years ago. These ancient marine creatures are identified as members of the Phacopida order, within the larger grouping of Arthropoda, which includes modern-day crustaceans, spiders, and insects. Calymene Blumenbachii trilobites are easily recognizable by their distinctive carapaces, or exoskeletons, which protected their delicate bodies from predators and the environment. The trilobites in this print are displayed in various positions, revealing their unique morphology and the remarkable preservation of their fossilized remains. Trilobites, such as Calymene Blumenbachii, are considered to be one of the most successful groups of organisms in Earth's history. They first appeared during the Cambrian period and dominated marine ecosystems until their extinction during the end of the Permian period, spanning over 270 million years. These prehistoric arthropods are often compared to modern-day ladybirds and lobsters due to their segmented bodies and protective exoskeletons. However, Calymene Blumenbachii trilobites were not related to these animals, as they belong to the Phanerozoic Concept, a geological time period that began after the end of the Cambrian and is characterized by the presence of abundant fossils. The intricate patterns and details of the Calymene Blumenbachii trilobites' carapaces are a testament to the complex and diverse life that existed during the Paleozoic Era. This fascinating glimpse into the past not only showcases the beauty of these ancient creatures but also highlights the rich history and evolutionary connections that link modern organisms to their prehistoric ancestors.
