Scientists have revealed the most anatomically complete specimens of Cambrian trilobites ever found in stunning 3D images.
The pristine fossils, which date to the Cambrian period (541 million to 485 million years ago), were found in 2015 entombed under layers of volcanic ash from the Cambrian Tatelt Formation in Morocco. This volcanic burial preserved even the animals' soft tissue, revealing anatomic features never observed before.
