Love ancient fossils? This flexible fossil will win your heart! 🦖

I started designing this trilobite about 300 million years ago. But I never finished it—a more interesting project distracted me. Any designer will understand.

150 million years later, I came back to it. A dinosaur friend of mine really wanted to see a flexible trilobite. By that time, all trilobites had gone extinct and turned to stone.

I got so carried away that I didn’t notice another 100 million years fly by. And with them, the Cretaceous period took all the dinosaurs.

Last Hump Day, I blew the dust off the old project. I thought, “Why not give it another whirl—before my filament turns into a fossil too?”
