Description
The humble trilobite has been transformed into a fascinating subject of study in this remarkable book. Richard Fortey's engaging account explores the history of these exotic, crustacean-like animals that dominated the seas for three hundred million years. Through their evolution, the trilobite witnessed the movement of continents, the formation and erosion of mountain chains, and the survival of ice ages and volcanic eruptions.
