Some Trilobite Reconstructions
last revised 10 July 2007 by S. M. Gon III
When I began working on this website, it soon became apparent that I would have to create line drawings of trilobites in a consistent style. I settled on Macromedia Freehand as a drawing tool, and it has served well. I share here some of my favorite recent reconstructions, from Acanthopyge to Zhangshania, many of which are not to be found anywhere else on the web. If you know of a particularly interesting trilobite that needs a line reconstruction similar to those shown below, let me know, and provide me with good photographs of the complete specimen, and I'd be happy to oblige. Enjoy!
