500 million-year-old trilobite fossil, human footprints found, who actually wore shoes to the bottom of the sea?
The species on earth are very rich and diverse

Although the Earth now looks prosperous, but this is only the result of the Earth's evolution and development of 4.6 billion years, because the birth of the Earth to now, has been 4.6 billion years, and nurtured countless species of organisms.
However, humans are just a species on Earth but are currently the highest animal on the planet, in the birth of the Earth when desolate, and lifeless can be described by the word "cold".
Later, with the evolution of the Earth's continents, there is water, where there is water that slowly appeared in cells, as the cells continue to evolve and develop the emergence of life, and then the Earth flourished.
Although we can not travel to ancient times to see the scene of that time on earth, from some of the unearthed biological bones and fossils can imagine the creatures of that time, associated with the scene at that time.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, the Earth's species are very rich and diverse, there are many very large animals, such as dinosaurs, dinosaurs, pythons, etc., of course, there are also smaller animals, such as trilobites, grass worms, once a young man abroad very fond of studying the ancient period of fossils, once he found a trilobite fossil.
500 million years ago trilobite fossils, were found in human footprints, in the end, who wore shoes to the bottom of the sea?
Many people may think that trilobite is a small insect, that does not have a hard skeleton, and it is difficult to form fossils, in fact, in ancient times if trilobite died in a stone crevice or some hard objects next to be buried in the ground, their bodies are likely to form one with the hard objects and become fossils.
At that time this young man was at the river, he happened to see a stone, think this stone is very unusual, so he took it back home, the results with a hammer gently knocked, the things shown inside to make him amazed, the original is a piece of trilobite fossil, and at that time this trilobite is very well preserved.
Although he likes to study the ancient period of the painter, after all, the amateur home equipment is not particularly adequate, so he handed this piece of the drawing room to the local authorities and asked the local permission to study together with the professionals.
Scientists studying this trilobite fossil found that although the trilobite was very well preserved, there were many traces on this fossil, and even a very obvious human footprint.
After measuring it was learned that the length of this footprint is about 28 cm and the width is also 8.5 cm, which looks very similar to the shape of a human shoe, so some people think that this trilobite may have been stepped on and subsequently buried in the ground along with this stone.
But researchers trace the history of the past to find trilobites are living 560 million years ago, and now extinct, know that at that time even humans have not yet appeared, in the end, who traveled back to accidentally stepped on a trilobite.
For this discovery scientists feel very surprised, because this agreement with the trilobite life age is completely inexplicable, is it that time already has human civilization? Or is it that the civilization of a human society is in a continuous cycle?
The answer to this question has always made people feel very confused because this fossil is found in the ocean, it is difficult to say that at that time humans avoided fierce animals living in the sea.
Because such words are only once, scientists can only study this fossil, but ultimately did not come up with a definitive answer, perhaps shortly, along with the continuous progress of human social science and technology, the secret about these fossils can be known to mankind.
