About
Russian Trilobites
During
the Ordovician, what is now Eastern Europe and Western Russia
was a shallow inland sea. The fauna was rich and diverse, and
included a large assemblage of trilobite invertebrates,
as well
as the early vertebrates. This was the heart of the age of
the trilobite, a time when trilobites were not only diverse,
but
had undergone adaptations yielding striking morphologies.
The
trilobites of Russia, and specifically those coming from
the
region near Saint Petersburg, are among those most cherished
by collectors. The reasons are several, their exotic forms,
superb preservation, and availablity.
