Trilobite:(Elrathia kingii) Trilobites are arthropods that lived from 521 to 252 millionyears ago. They come in many shapes and sizes. Some would roll into a ball.This Specimen is an Elrathia trilobite from the Cambrian of Utah, 513 to 498million years old.
Crinoid stem:Crinoids are animals related to starfish. Crinoids first appeared about 480 million years ago. They look like flowers and are sometimes called sea lilies. The “flower”, called a calyx, had multiple arms that would filter food particles from the water and put them in the mouth in the center of the arms. They attach themselves via a stem and roots to the bottom of the sea floor. This specimen is a partial stem from the Devonian of Morocco, approximately 400 million years old.
Horn Coral:(Turbophyllum sp.) Corals are filter feeding marine organisms with stone likeexoskeletons that make up large reefs. Most corals are made up of manyindividual small organisms called polyps. Horn corals are an extinct group ofcorals that only had one large polyp that lived from 488 to 251 million yearsago before going extinct. This specimen is from the Late Mississippian ofMillard County, Utah 326 to 318 million years old.
Ammonite:Ammonites are Cephalopods, like squid and octopi, that had a coiled shell. Theylived from 409 to 66 million years ago and ranged in size from less than aninch to over six feet (two meters) across depending on the species. Thisspecimen is from the Cretaceous of Madagascar about 110 million years old.
MosasaurTooth: Mosasaurs are huge carnivorous marine reptiles that lived alongsidedinosaurs from 101 to 66 million years ago. Some approached 60 feet (18 meters)in length! They aren't dinosaurs but are close relatives of snakes and lizards.This specimen is from the Cretaceous of Morocco, about 75 million years old.
Crow SharkTooth: (Squalicorax pristodontus) Crow sharks are medium sized sharks that liveand died with the dinosaurs. Like all sharks, they had many rows of teeth andwould shed old ones to be replaced by new ones. This is the largest species ofCrow shark and grew to lengths of 16 feet (5 meters). This specimen from theCretaceous of Morocco, about 72 million years old.
Dinosaur Bone:Dinosaurs first appeared about 233 million years ago. They then diversified into a variety of shapes and sizes from smaller than a house cat to as large as a whale. The Hell Creek formation is well known for a wide variety of dinosaurs including the horned Ceratopsian Triceratops, Duck Billed Hadrosaurs Edmontosaurus, the Dome Headed Pachycephalosaurs, Armored Ankylosaurus, and a variety of Carnivorous dinosaurs such as Raptors and even T-Rex! Although these would all go extinct 66 million years ago one group of dinosaurs, birds, still lives to this day!This specimen from the Late Cretaceous of Powder River County, Montana, 68 to 66 million years old.
PetrifiedWood: Petrified wood is a special type of fossilized wood that occurs when theorganic molecules in the wood are replaced by minerals, usually quartz. Thisspecimen is from the Eocene of College Station, Texas, 50 to 40 million yearsold.
Gastropod:Gastropods (Snails) are mollusks with coiled shells that move along the groundor sea floor. They eat plants or actively hunt other animals, depending on thespecies, and first appeared 540 million years ago. When a snail dies, its shellusually dissolves leaving only an internal mold of the shell. This specimen israre in that the original shell was preserved. It is from the middle Eocene ofCollege Station, Texas, about 42 million years old.
StingrayBarb: Stingrays are close relatives of sharks. Their most famous feature is avenomous barb on their tail that they use to defend themselves from largerpredators like sharks and dolphins. This specimen is from the late Miocene orPliocene of Florida, 10 to 2.5 million years old.
ExtinctIce Age Horse Tooth:(Equus sp.) Horses lived in North America for millions of years before goingextinct about 11 thousand years ago. A different species of domestic horse wasreintroduced to North America by European settlers in 1519. This specimen isthe Pleistocene of Florida, 1 million to 12 thousand years old.
