In the Frankenwald region, researchers have uncovered 11 new species of 500-million-year-old fossil trilobites, including Prioscutarius max and Prioscutarius moritz. The fossils were found in a rock slab from a remote location, once in front of Pangaea, now uplifted by mountain formation.

A total of 1,500 crustaceans were examined, resembling specimens from the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. This discovery, akin to a prehistoric 'Noah's Ark,' sheds light on ancient marine life and presents a valuable scientific insight into Earth's geological past.
