Trilobite

For this challenge, I wanted to build a fossilised trilobite surrounded by a frame. I find fossils, especially trilobites, fascinating, because fossils give an insight into life at that time.

These creatures, which ranged in size from a few millimeters to a length of around 80 centimeters, lived in the prehistoric oceans 570 million years ago.

The replica has a recess on the back so that it can be hung on a nail on the wall so that it doesn't take up too much space.

My model was built from exactly 231 parts and measures 3.8 centimeters in length, 16 centimeters in height and 12 centimeters in width.

Enjoy it!
