This exhibit presents these fine Paleozoic creatures in a way that tells a story of the prehistoric life in the ancient seas. The collection assembled over 35 years provides a unique snapshot of life in the ancient seas from 250 to 500 million years ago.

This exhibit explores the life and death of these creatures once so plentiful during the Cambrian period that it was called the Age of Trilobites. The exhibit is complete with actual trilobite specimens, charts, posters, artifacts, models, interactive units and wall texts and provides an excellent look into the ancient world of the Paleozoic seas.

This exhibit runs June 2 - September 10, 2023.
