    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.
