It's time for another Fossil Friday!
Pictured is an unknown trilobite (group of extinct marine arthropods) only a centimeter long, possibly from the Early Cambrian Rome formation in Virginia. If you look carefully, you can see the facial suture on the cephalon or head. The suture is on the left side of the head to the right of the eye. Trilobites molted their shell along the facial suture as they grew.
Venture a guess as to what family or genus this belongs? The answer will be posted next week!
