Tony the trilobite and his friends, Becky the brachiopod and Bryan the bryozoan, live in an ancient ocean that covers what will one day be the Chickasaw Nation.

This fun and educational introduction to the Paleozoic era and fossils includes a glossary of scientific terms, Chickasaw language vocabulary words, and a downloadable version of the “Trilobite Song,” written and performed by the author.
