Does anyone know what species it represents?

Does anyone know what species it represents?

Do you have any pictures of it?

lucky you! I've been meaning to get that set
Playmobil has some pretty decent animal figures, I find the smaller ones to be the best generally

but they are often made to be very generic, I doubt we could apply a particular genus to the trilobite, but trilobites aren't exactly my specialty

How rare is this set? Also what do you call the set? Lol

[crankydinosaur]

they came in a bunch of the dinosaur sets.

Trilobites aren't a local fossil in my area but I know someone who has a good collection. From memory, it does look like a generic Phacops sp. That said, the tail isn't quite the norm so perhaps that detail would further nail down an ID for an expert.

(IIRC) the trilobite (along with the other ammonite shell and the amber) are only available in the largest set of the most recent dinosaurs line

not rare at all, as they are still in production, it is however a very large set to get for a single figure

I didn't even know they made one! Very neat.

[Hynerpeton]

I would like to get them someday.
