| The classic view of a trilobite |
But in the Madrid Museo Geominero there was a small but fascinating exhibit. A fossil had been carefully excavated from the surrounding rock to show the animal in 3D. I don't mind spiders in the bath, but something like this would be much more disturbing. This creature, the size of your hand, is viewed from the underside, with its legs and curly antennae revealed.

Exhibits like this bring the fossil world back to life in a way that I found surprising.
