Extinct Extinction Fossil Fossilisation Fossilised Palaeozoic Era Poland Trilobite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fossilized remains of Odontopleura ovata, a trilobite species that existed during the Silurian period in what is now Poland. The photograph was taken at Wawoz, Pragowiec near Bardo, Cross Mountains and captures the intricate details of this extinct creature. Trilobites were marine arthropods that thrived over 400 million years ago during the Paleozoic era. This particular specimen belongs to the Wenlock Series, which represents a specific stage within the Silurian period. The image highlights the remarkable process of fossilization, where organic material gradually transforms into rock over millions of years. The delicate features and exoskeleton of Odontopleura ovata have been remarkably preserved through this process, allowing scientists to study its anatomy and gain insights into ancient ecosystems. Sinclair Stammers has expertly captured every minute detail in this photograph. From its segmented body to its distinctive spines and compound eyes, each element tells a story about life on Earth long before humans roamed these lands. As we marvel at this stunning piece from Science Photo Library, it serves as a reminder of our planet's rich geological history and how fossils like these provide valuable clues about past life forms and their eventual extinction.
