Trilobite II

Trilobite II

This abstract depiction of a curled up trilobite is the work of Sara Spence. It is suspended on a bracket high up on 35, Beveridge Street.

Trilobites were rather like modern woodlice although its closest living relative is actually the Horseshoe crab. They were bottom-livers, crawling, swimming or lying on the beds of shallow seas between 260 and 570 million years ago. Their hard outer casing enabled them to leave fossilised imprints. However, trilobites have not been found in Barrow.
