Travels with Trilobites Adventures in the Paleozoic

Travels with Trilobites Adventures in the Paleozoic by Andy Secher, published by Columbia University Press in 2022.

Trilobites were some of the most successful and versatile organisms ever to exist. Among the earliest forms of complex animal life, these hard-shelled marine invertebrates inhabited the primal seas of the Paleozoic Era. Their march through evolutionary time began in the Lower Cambrian, some 521 million years ago, and lasted until their demise at the end of the Permian, more than 250 million years later. During this vast stretch of planetary history, these adaptable animals filled virtually every available undersea niche, evolving into more than 25,000 scientifically recognized species.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift.
