Extinct Extinction Fossil Fossilisation Fossilised Ordovician Palaeozoic Era Trilobite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Stubblefieldia sp. C015 / 0707, an extinct trilobite species from the Ordovician period. The fossil was discovered in Ikhf-n-Ouzreg, Morocco and is a testament to the rich geological history of our planet. Named after Sir (Cyril) James Stubblefield FRS, a distinguished British geologist, this trilobite genus pays homage to his significant contributions to the field. Sir Stubblefield served as President of the Geological Society of London from 1958 to 1960 and later became Director of the Geological Survey of Great Britain until 1966. The intricately preserved fossilized remains capture a moment frozen in time millions of years ago during the Caradocian stage. This particular specimen offers valuable insights into life during the Palaeozoic era and serves as a reminder of Earth's ever-changing landscape. Photographed by Sinclair Stammers for Science Photo Library, this image allows us to marvel at nature's ability to preserve ancient creatures like these trilobites through fossilization. It serves as a visual reminder that even long-extinct organisms can leave behind enduring imprints on our world. As we admire this stunning photograph, let us appreciate both its scientific significance and its aesthetic beauty—a testament to how art and science can intertwine seamlessly when capturing moments from Earth's distant past.
