Arthropod Arthropoda Crustacea Crustacean Fossil Fossilised Ordovician Paleozoic Phanerozoic Prehistoric Specimen Trilobita Trilobite Trilobitomorpha Invertebrata Petersburgh


EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 3-dimensional print showcases the intricately preserved fossil of Asaphus (Neoasaphus) kowalewskii, a remarkable stalk-eyed trilobite discovered at the Wolchow River, near St. Petersburgh, Russia. Dating back to the Middle Ordovician period of the Paleozoic Era, around 470 million years ago, this ancient invertebrate is an exceptional example of the Arthropoda class, specifically the Trilobitomorpha order. Measuring approximately 5 cms in length, the Asaphus kowalewskii is identified by its distinctive stalk-eyes, which were likely used for detecting and tracking prey in its marine environment. The trilobite's body is covered in a well-preserved exoskeleton, displaying the characteristic segmented body structure typical of arthropods. As a crustacean, this trilobite shares many similarities with modern crustaceans, such as a hard exoskeleton, jointed legs, and a segmented body. However, it is important to note that trilobites are not considered true crustaceans, as they lack several key features, such as a well-defined head and thorax. The discovery of this fossilized Asaphus kowalewskii provides valuable insights into the ancient marine ecosystems of the Middle Ordovician period. Its preservation in such detail allows scientists to study the anatomy and evolutionary relationships of this fascinating prehistoric creature, contributing to our understanding of the rich biosphere that existed during the Phanerozoic Con era. This print offers a captivating glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies and complexities of life that existed millions of years ago.
