Chinese collector trilobites fossils landed on the big screen of Times Square

The exhibition "Ocean Overlord Trilobite" launched by Jiang Guangfu, a calligrapher and collector in the United States, was recently unveiled on the electronic screen of Times Square. Trilobites are the earliest creatures that appeared on Earth 570 million years ago, ruling the oceans for 320 million years. Jiang Guangfu, who has been collecting trilobites for 40 years, said there are more than 15,000 species of trilobites, and their fossils carry a lot of information about the evolution of the earth and oceans. At present, his own collection of trilobite fossils has exceeded that of the Natural History Museum of New York and the Natural History Museum of Washington, D.C., and is planning to set up a thematic museum and youth science education base in a coastal city in China. The picture shows the two grandsons of him, Long Zengyu and Long Zengming, and the fossils of the trilobite on the large screen of the square.
