More model informationThis 3D trilobite model was created by using an app called SCANN3D of the specimen Metacryphaeus caffer. It is Devonian in age, and was found in La Paz, Bolivia. This species was also present throughout the Cambrian and went extinct in the Late Permian extinction event. It was a shallow marine, benthic, vagrant trilobite which actively hunted other benthic organisms, such as small invertebrates. It is difficult to know whether this specimen is an exosketeton moult or the actual creature.
