Dr. Colin Sumrall explained, “It’s about as old as you can get.” The professor told them that what Ryleigh has found is an ancient creature known as “Trilobite.” What’s even more surprising is that Ryleigh found a fossil which is 475-million years old! And it was a full fossil which was not damaged from any place, which is very rare. Why is that? You ask. It is because, during the fossilization process, it is a 99% possibility that the fossil will break.
Surprisingly, Ryleigh managed to pull out the fossil without damaging it and she did it without using any instruments that are usually required. Life took a very beautiful turn for her after the news of 475-million old discovery came out.
