Trilobite Jr. Trading Card
A Close Encounter of the Fossil Kind for Beginning Paleontologists
This benthic tidal denizen of Orodovician oceans cruised around searching for prey approximately 450 million years ago. Commonly found in Ohio (USA) fossil fields this is the archetypal Trilobite Genus.
Make your own single-print trading card featuring the fossil Trilobite Felxicalymene sp. Collect ‘em; trade ‘em; print, insert (in an envelope), and mail ‘em to any fossil fan (err, maybe better worded, a fan of fossils; tee-he) ; or, print a small school of ‘em for gliding around your desktop looking for some fingers to bite.
The Model
Aimed at younger builders, this model has been designed to print on any 3D printer with a 6-x 6-inch build bed. Furthermore, this is a highly stylized model that is “little finger friendly” and not a faithful reproduction of a fossil. If you elect to build this model, rather than collect and trade it, the parts can be push-fit together. Alternatively, if you’re wishing for a permanent assembly, the recommended cement for construction is Testors Cement for Plastic Models (#3501). Maybe include a small tube of this cement with your collectible trading card when giving it to a friend?
Once all of the parts have been snipped free of the card’s framing/holding sprue, assembly is very straightforward. Extra segments have been included for enabling you to vary the final appearance of your beastie. As a point of reference, the opening photograph shows the 3D model positioned next to an actual fossil Flexicalymene.
Enjoy.
