Wait… What are trilobites?
Go figure something like a prehistoric pill bug, but marine and much larger. These ruled the seas millions of years ago and are the great-great-grandparents (multiply that by a million) of the animals we know today, like insects and crabs.
For science these are secrets revealed
This discovery is like finding a history book with super-detailed illustrations. Scientists were able to see how they ate: they had a special mouth with a slot-like opening. It seems like a silly thing, but Never before had the mouth of a trilobite been seen in such detail.
A certain Per Ahlberg, who is a boss when it comes to fossils, said that this discovery It confirms many ideas they had about what they were like, but which they had never been able to verify.
The scientist who led this research, Abderrazak El Albani, is trying to convince the Moroccan government to protect this site. He says there are very few sites in the world with fossils preserved like this, and that this is the best of them all.
And they don’t stop there: they continue to find more incredible fossils, including one that looks like a prehistoric jellyfish. It’s as if they had discovered a photo album of life on Earth 515 million years ago.
