Mud Bugs
The trilobite fossil is from Morocco. Now extinct, this rare metacanthina trilobite is around 350 million years old. This trilobite has beautiful detail that has lasted for tens of thousands of years. Scientists believe that the trilobites are one of the first living animals on earth to develop eyesight. This fossil is embedded in its matrix which has been carved away to show off this beautiful specimen they are approx.
Fossils are a wonderful tool to assist you in moving from the old to the new and to be receptive to the fresh, innovative forces that are available to you. Fossils can guide you in your quest for transition, transformation, and personal growth, helping you to understand the process of change.
They can help you instill quality and excellence in your environment.
Trilobite fossils have been found in human cultural sites as old as 50,000 years and may have been the first fossils ever collected. Ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman tombs have yielded trilobite fossils with drill holes indicating that they were worn as amulets. Metaphysical practitioners believe that trilobite fossils ensure leadership and management skills, and assist in the development of strength and perseverance.
The trilobite can promote not only leadership but also management skills, allowing one to rule lovingly and with patience and fortitude. It assists in the development of patience, strength, and perseverance, allowing one to recognize the desired course and to maintain the pathway that will produce the desired goal. It is an example for humanity that one may be in charge of the world, and still, virtually, be required to "sit in the mud".
Mineral Description
Trilobites, meaning "three lobes", are a fossil group of extinct marine arachnomorph arthropods that form the class Trilobita. Trilobites form one of the earliest known groups of arthropods. The first appearance of trilobites in the fossil record defines the base of the Atdabanian stage of the Early Cambrian period (521 million years ago), and they flourished throughout the lower Paleozoic era before beginning a drawn-out decline to extinction when, during the Devonian, all trilobite orders except the Proetids died out. Trilobites disappeared in the mass extinction at the end of the Permian about 252 million years ago. The trilobites were among the most successful of all early animals, roaming the oceans for over 270 million years.
Over 20,000 species are currently known. Every single continent has yielded trilobite remains. The biggest species (Isotelus rex) was some 28 inches long, while the smallest measured less than a millimeter from end to end. Some sported defensive spines, while others had smooth, rounded shells. And whereas certain trilobites came with disproportionately large eyes, many deep-sea species were blind.
Long before Europeans first set foot on the continent, the Pahvant Ute people, from what is now called Utah, gathered Cambrian trilobites. Believing that the fossils harbored special powers, the natives carried them around as protective charms. These odd, petrified critters were given the name “Timpe-Konitza-Pachuee,” or “little water bug living in a house of stone.”
