Ellipsocephalus hoffi trilobite fossils
Ellipsocephalus hoffi trilobite fossils. Trilobites were arthropods that fed as they crawled on the seabed. They are now extinct. This trilobite species was described in 1823 by the German palaeontologist Ernst Friedrich, Baron von Schlotheim (1764-1832). These fossils date from the Middle Cambrian period (500 to 510 million years ago), and were found in the Jince formation of Mount Konicek in the Czech Republic. Each fossil is about 15 millimetres in length. This enhanced computer image is a composite of specimens from a collection maintained by Pete Lawrence

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Ellipsocephalus hoffi trilobite fossils, offering a glimpse into Earth's ancient past. Trilobites, now extinct, were fascinating arthropods that roamed the seabed while feeding on various organisms. The species depicted here was first described in 1823 by Ernst Friedrich, Baron von Schlotheim, a renowned German palaeontologist. Dating back to the Middle Cambrian period approximately 500 to 510 million years ago, these particular fossils were discovered within the Jince formation of Mount Konicek in the Czech Republic. Each fossil measures around 15 millimeters in length and has been meticulously preserved over time. This enhanced computer image is a composite representation created from specimens found within Pete Lawrence's esteemed collection. It beautifully captures multiple trilobite fossils and provides an insight into their intricate biological structure. The significance of this photograph extends beyond its aesthetic appeal; it serves as a testament to our planet's rich history and evolution. By studying such well-preserved relics from prehistoric times, scientists gain valuable insights into Earth's early ecosystems and contribute to fields like paleontology and zoology. Science Photo Library proudly presents this extraordinary image as part of their extensive collection dedicated to European nature and wildlife photography. It stands as a reminder of the incredible diversity that once thrived on our planet before eventually fading away with time.
