Hundreds of millions of years ago, trilobites could be found all over the Earth. Cloaked in tough exoskeletons, the animals left behind countless fossils to be studied by paleontologists today. Despite all those preserved shells, scientists have been unable to understand certain aspects of trilobite anatomy after centuries of study, especially the soft internal structures of the ancient arthropods.But a group of trilobite fossils entombed in volcanic ash in Morocco may provide the best glimpse yet of the segmented seafarers.
