This family-friendly exhibit takes a journey through the prehistoric life of the ancient seas when arthropods were plentiful. A trilobite is an extinct arthropod. It was an animal with no internal spine, had a body made of joined segments with a hard covering, and was the first known animal to have eyes.

Fossil enthusiasts and families of all ages can explore these ancient specimens in one place. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the unique life and death of these fine Paleozoic creatures that once roamed the Earth during the Cambrian Period, commonly known as the Age of Trilobites.
