Trilobite Takedown – AMNH SciCafe

Описание к видео Trilobite Takedown – AMNH SciCafe

Although they’ve been extinct for about 252 million years, trilobites still manage to fascinate us today.

These fossil arthropods were among the first animals to appear in large numbers, and they lived for almost 300 million years before going extinct. Assistant Curator Melanie Hopkins explains where these diverse creatures fit into the fossil record across the globe, delves into her research on trilobite growth patterns, and discusses the amazing diversity of their shapes.

This SciCafe took place at the Museum on February 7, 2018.
