Fossil of a trilobite, an extinct marine arthropod, embedded in sedimentary rock. The fossil shows a well-preserved exoskeleton with a segmented body, distinct head (cephalon), thorax with rib-like pleura, and fan-shaped tail (pygidium). The rock has a textured, layered appearance with gray and light brown hues, indicating sedimentary formation. Trilobites lived during the Paleozoic Era, over 250 million years ago, and are often used for biostratigraphy and studying prehistoric marine environments. |
