Still Waters Posted March 5, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Trilobites may be the archetypal fossils, symbols of an archaic world long swept beneath the ruthless road grader of time. But we should all look so jaunty after half a billion years. At the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, Brian T. Huber, chairman of paleobiology, points to a flawless specimen of Walliserops, a five-inch trilobite that swam the Devonian seas around what is now Morocco some 150 million years before the first dinosaurs hatched. http://www.nytimes.c...ience&emc=0&r=0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
