Teaching aids have been used for decades, such as this Olenoides serratus, one of the first animals from the Burgess Shale of Canada to be described!

This #TrilobiteTuesday : a moulted, partially disarticulated exoskeleton of a Middle Cambrian Paradoxides (?) #trilobite from Kelligrews, #Newfoundland . Incomplete, but most of it is there - including the ventral mouthshield, aka the hypostome.
Ever wondered how trilobites are found? Often, rock after rock must be cracked & carefully examined. The presence of a thin cross-section of calciteβlike the crack in this Thysanopeltis' bodyβindicates that a complete specimen might be buried within. #TrilobiteTuesday
