Klappentext zu „Trilobite Book “
Trilobites have been known to instill lifelong habits of fossil collecting, and are generally considered a favorite fossil.These distant relatives of modern lobsters, horseshoe crabs, and spiders roamed the planet for 300 million years, from the Lower Cambrian to the end of the Permian.And they did so very welltrilobite fossils have been found on every continent on earth, and include over 20,000 species. Trilobite collecting has also had a long lifespan, with evidence of the first dating 50,000 years to burial remains.But few have collected as passionately as Riccardo Levi Setti, whohas species named after him, and who for decades has been the guide and master of this amazing domain.This new work combines the best of science and fossils with that of technology, bringing Trilobites to life in full color.The stunning photos, all original, are accompanied by a text that shares Levi-Setti s global quests to find the most sought after fossils in the world.It has taken him from Morocco, to Tucson, and these stories help crystallized as well the story of trilobites and their role in planetary history.
