TRILOBITE Fossil: Trilobites
are one of the most important sea creatures that
lived in the Cambrian Period, leaving many traces
in various parts of the world. One of the most astounding
features of trilobites is their multi-lensed eye
structure, consisting of countless units, each one of
which is a lens. Just as the hexagonal "honeycomb"
eyes of insects, each of these units functions as a single,
independent lens. Each one perceives a separate image,
and in the brain, these images unite into a whole.
Research shows that some trilobites' eyes have more than
three thousand lenses, which means that more than three
thousand images are conveyed to this crustacean. In short,
a sea creature that lived 530 million years ago had a
highly complex brain and eyeflawless structures
that could not have come into being by evolution.
