Spooky, scary skeletons send shivers down your spine. Luckily for us at the Bell Pettigrew Museum, some of our skeletons have been fossilised which means we can still display this little guy hundreds of millions of years later! To start off this spooky Halloween season, our #objectoftheweek is one of our trilobites, a neolenus who lived during the Middle Cambrian, roughly 500 million years ago, in what is now the Rocky Mountains. Thanks to their easily fossilised exoskeleton, we have many examples of this arthropod in the fossil record. How many can you see in the Bell Pettigrew Museum?
