EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tower-eye trilobite fossil C016 / 6221, a remarkable specimen from the Timrahrhart Formation in Morocco. Preserved with astonishing detail, this ancient creature belonged to the species Erbenochile erbeni and is on display at the prestigious Natural History Museum in London, UK. Against a striking black background, this image invites us to explore the intricate world of fauna that once thrived millions of years ago. Trilobites, arthropods that are now extinct, hold an important place in zoological history as one of Earth's earliest known complex life forms. Their beautifully fossilized remains provide invaluable insights into our planet's past. The Tower-eye trilobite belongs to the Phacopida order and is part of the Acastidae family. Its distinctive features include its tower-like eyes which give it its name and make it instantly recognizable among other trilobites. As we gaze upon this stunning photograph, we are reminded of nature's incredible diversity and evolution over time. The Tower-eye trilobite serves as a testament to both its own existence and our fascination with uncovering Earth's mysteries. With this print by Science Photo Library in collaboration with the Natural History Museum in London, we are transported back through time to witness an extraordinary moment frozen forever within layers of rock - a glimpse into a world long gone but never forgotten.
