Explore Earth's Earliest Animals

Join us for some (trilo)bite-sized fun as we explore the earliest animals on Earth that evolved millions of years before the dinosaurs. 

Meet Lara Uttinger, a scientist researching this ancient world, from the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge. Chat with Lara about long-extinct animals unlike anything you might find today, and find fossil evidence of these animals in the Museum. 

Investigate real fossils and use these to make your own trilobite replica fossil to take home.
