Carving and am cursing myself. Blanks I cut about a year ago, and must have been trying to use up odd pieces… cut the one in front with the grain running sideways instead of lengthwise… oops! It’s making carving… interesting…

Trilobites were the first group of animals in the animal kingdom to develop complex eyes - about 500 million years ago.

I don't think anyone is out here with 30 legs anymore. A big trend in evolution seems to be less is more.

Insects all have six limbs. But trilobites have... a lot. Shouldn't we regard a trilobite with 30 as very different from one with 18?

Well, today I learned that we've known for some time that such things aren't fixed for a given species. Much like centipedes they change as they grow. It's a bit complex!

Descubierto un trilobites de 473 millones de años con características inéditas ecosdethot.blog/2022/05/03/des Un equipo científico del Instituto de Geociencias (IGEO-CSIC-UCM), centro mixto del CSIC y la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, y del Instituto Geológico Minero y Metalúrgico (INGEMMET) de Perú ha identificado un trilobites de 473 millones de años procedente de las rocas ordovícicas del Valle de los Ríos Apurímac, Ene y Mantaro peruano. Se trata de un nuevo género y especie del grupo de los trinucleidos nombrado Fantasticolithus isabelae, por sus singularidades morfológicas y en homenaje a la especialista española en trilobites Isabel Rábano, del Instituto Geológico y Minero de España (IGME-CSIC). El trabajo se ha publicado en la revista británica Papers in Palaeontology.

My contribution is a historical specimen at the Nova Scotia Museum. The fossil shows Dr. Anton von Frisch was interested in when he was still in school.

Rev. David Honeyman, obtained this trilobite after speaking with Dr. Frisch at the 1862 International Exhibition. Frisch went on to be a famous urologist, and his son Karl von Frish was a physiologist who discovered Dancing Bees. All ties back to trilobites from Bohemia 1862.

trilobites
never met pterosaurs
but presumably
pterosaurs
saw trilobites
eroding out of cliffs by the sea
a strange, one way relationship
parasocially
fossiliferously
like
yet unlike
you and me
