Look at these incredible pictures ! :) They are telling us more on trilobite living (and feeding...) habbits than years of scientific researches :)

 
Lateral view. It is moving !
Never seen before, the nest of a trilobite !

 

 

(Bad) feeding habbits.... Trilos seem to have quick adaptation capacities.
Consequence of the previous image ? Or worse : looking for more "food" ?

 

Note that the new specy is already "on the market" and its prices are quiet high ;)
