i love natural history! how convenient it is that you can probably go to the museum of natural history whenever you want!! i love it there! i recently came back from london and i went to several awesome museums: London Museum of Natural History, the Victoria and Albert Museum and also the British Museum!

@watermelli1980 When the girls were small we practically lived in the Museum of History. I am a civil War buff as most people were in my gerneration. London very cool, we are going to Italy this year. I have a reservation to see THE LAST SUPPER.

50,000,000 years old fossil!?!?! Are you sure? o.O

And where did you get them anyway?

[samuelbecket1977]

trilobites, there are about 17,000 known species of them and the last died out about 250 mya. fossil fish go back about 30-50 mya. you can buy them on line, what I usual do.

From Wikipedia:

"The exact reason for the extinction of the trilobites is not clear, although it would seem to be no coincidence that their numbers began to decrease with the arrival of the first sharks and other early fish in the Silurian and Devonian periods with their strong, hinged jaws. Trilobites may have provided a rich source of food for these new animals."

To me, it's seems like some of them evolved into slugs and crabs.

[samuelbecket1977]

true. I believe that is correct. I remember in college going on a field trip to the Delaware water gap where we looked for trilobites.
