Glad we have museum fans, I was a one of the people you saw working on fossils in the live lab...there are unimaginable things we have in collections. P.S. most of the fossils you were talking about were actually replicas. Are there any road cuts around Cincy that you look for Bites in? There was one that I always got specimens out of on 275 in KY.

@triskut The Dry Dredger case specimens are real trilobites .

What did trilobites eat?

[flyingscience]

Trilobites diets varied , some scavengers ate detritus , some where predators eating sea worms .See my introduction to trilobite videos for more info .

At 3:00 the fossil is of two individuals not a whole one in half .The give away is the number of middle segments cant be more than 8 for isotelus.

We also speculate about gravity. And we will eventually answer those hard questions, like we always have. The world was flat, was center of universe, sun revolved around earth, ect. All I can say is I'm happy in the,"invisible particles that are constantly changing" club. I won't attack your beliefs though. Believe what ever you want IDK. All I know is I don't have to attack other;s beliefs in a attempt to strengthen how I view my own. =)

What does heaven have to do with trilobites?

Why do creationist think every scientist is an atheist?

Why don't you open a geology book so you know what you are talking about.

[gregrutz]

Thou shalt not lie, you don't get to go to heaven.

[gregrutz]

you maybe missed the date by 500 million years, give or take a few million years.

Trilobites normaly get a height of 8 to 12cm, but the biggest forms are 75cm.

I like the forms of their dorsal armor.
