The trilobite is a creature somewhat resembling a modern pill-bug that roamed the seas of Cambrian and Pre-Cambrian Earth. It is symmetrical, like most early life, and segmented; each leg is matched by a segment of "armor" covering the back.
There are nine orders of trilobites, and over fifteen thousand species within those orders, making it the largest and most diverse group of known animals in the fossil record.
The following images show the model making process, as well as details on the internal organs of the trilobite.
These models were produced as part of an independent study class with Jonathan Price, in conjunction with the Current Topics in Earth Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
