Fossils of Australia
Proteus-Trilobite
Proteus Trilobite fossil from Yass Australia
Trilobites were among the early arthropods, a phylum of hard-shelled creatures with multiple body segments and jointed legs.
Australian Silurian. Silurian to Early Devonian 436-390 mya
The absence of a cephalon (head) may indicate that this trilobite shed it’s exoskeleton, that settled and was buried in the tropical sea floor.
‘Spinella’ Brachiopod fossil
‘Spinella’ Brachiopod fossil from Yass Australia
Australian Silurian. Silurian to Early Devonian 436-390 mya
Phylum Brachiopoda, having bivalve dorsal and ventral shells enclosing a pair of tentacled, armlike structures that are used to sweep minute food particles into the mouth.
