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 finally disappeared in the mass extinction at the end of the Permian about 250 million years ago. The trilobites were among the most successful of all early animals, roaming the oceans for over 270 million years.

Fossils of sea creatures found inside the catacombs of Paris, France.
The Catacombs of Paris or Catacombes de Paris are underground ossuaries in Paris, France. Located south of the former city gate, the ossuaries hold the remains of about six million people and fill a renovated section of caverns and tunnels that are the remains of historical stone mines, giving it its reputation as "The World's Largest Grave". Opened in the late 18th century, the underground cemetery became a tourist attraction on a small scale from the early 19th century, and has been open to the public on a regular basis from 1874.
Denise spent some time looking for fossils last year. These were found in the north Texas Caleche near Waco. A fun way to spend the weekend.

The Fossil Shell Beach is in the vicinity of Hat Noppharat Thara - Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park. It features limestone slabs formed from various types of embedded mollusks. There exists only two other similar sites in the world, one in the US and another in Japan. The age of the fossils at this beach is placed at about 40 million years ago. At that time, Susaan Hoi (Fossil Shell Beach) was a large freshwater swamp. Eventually, it became a landmass. Over time, successive layers of shells created rock slabs known as the "shelly limestone" of over 40 cm. These rest on 10 centimetres of lignite, below which was subsoil. Due to geographic upheaval, this shelly limestone at Susaan Hoi is now distributed in great broken sheets on the seashore at Laem Pho. They look like broken chunks of cement flooring from afar.

Fossil on a landscape rock in my front yard - not sure what it was but must be at least 10,000 years old.
John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is a U.S. National Monument in Wheeler and Grant counties in east-central Oregon. Located within the John Day River basin and managed by the National Park Service, the park is known for its well-preserved layers of fossil plants and mammals that lived in the region between the late Eocene, about 45 million years ago, and the late Miocene, about 5 million years ago.
This great fossil was obviously too heavy for someone to carry back to the carpark, and so had been left here on the beach. Kilve is well known for these, as well as its strange rock pavement formations.
Fossil Mountain and Mt. Huethawali in the background. The clouds rolled in on this day but it left me with some great light from Havasupai point in the Grand Canyon.
One doesn't see pictures of this one very often. The Fossil Footprint Nebula.

Die Armfüßer (Brachiopoda) oder Armfüßler, seltener auch Armkiemer genannt, sind die Angehörigen eines Tierstamms ausschließlich aus meereslebenden bilateral-symmetrischen Tieren mit zweiklappigem Gehäuse. Sie ernähren sich von Kleinstlebewesen und ähneln äußerlich den Muscheln(Bivalvia), haben aber anstatt einer linken und rechten Schale (Klappe) eine obere und eine untere, wobei die bauchseitige Schale meist größer als die Rückenschale ist. Brachiopoden besitzen ferner einen Stiel zum Festklammern und an beiden Seiten des Mundes armförmige Tentakel. Die größten heute lebenden Arten erreichen Schalenbreiten bis sieben Zentimeter, die größten fossilen Schalen sind etwa 30 Zentimeter breit. /
The brachiopods, also known as arm gills, are members of an animal phylum consisting exclusively of bilaterally symmetrical marine animals with a two-lobed shell. They feed on microorganisms and are externally similar to mussels (Bivalvia), but instead of a left and right shell (valve) they have an upper and a lower shell, whereby the ventral shell is usually larger than the dorsal shell. Brachiopods also have a stalk for clinging and arm-shaped tentacles on both sides of the mouth. The largest species living today reach shell widths of up to seven centimetres, the largest fossil shells are around 30 centimetres wide.

Fossil Cove, Tasmania. Literally everywhere you look, there are fossils of shellfish and other creatures. An amazing place.
This open-air museum at Big Bend includes casts of fossils and other exhibits. Even college students love dinosaurs!
Just love watches with skeleton dial design :) Ooh and them car lights from the background make nice bokeh .. pretty lucky haha :)
Sea urchin. Found this little beauty in a concretewall, that I was breaking down. After a day in vinegar, it looked like this.
A fossilized shell found in Whitley Bay, Northumberland. Its not rare as there are lots just laying on the beach...
