petition to ban anomalocarises from the local sandbar. theyre so fucking big and it's freaking everyone out and me personally ion want a trilobite muncher looming over me when im trying to have a drink.

🪲 trillybite17 Follow

they dont call them the ABNORMAL shrimp for nothing, they're fucking weird

🎸 punkrock-halluci Follow

No, you know what petition needs to be started? One to get rid of ignorant bigots like you. Have you ever SEEN an Anomalocaris ever eat, let alone ATTACK a trilobite? No, you haven't. Because they DON'T EAT TRILOBITES. Do some fucking research before you say shit like this.

fyi if you get rid of anomalocarises from public spaces then you will quite literally starve. you know those dead soft-bodied organisms yall scavenge and eat? yeah anomalocaris is the one providing those for you. as a scavenger myself i have been personally impacted by loss of food due to unfair treatment of anomalocarises that have forced them to leave the shallows that i live in and let me tell you eating detritus and nothing else is literally awful. please think twice before you post something prejudiced like this.

ignore the OP, i promise most of us trilobites aren't like them- i don't even know why this is a debate. i guarantee they've never stepped outside of their little rock cave in their life

What do you call a Hurdiidae without any eyes? A Hurddae!

♟️vampeytoia Follow

actually you'd call it 'uncle maximilien' because my uncle maximilien was hatched with no eyes

💼 stanley-shrimp Follow

Valerie, you and I both know damn well that you do not have an "Uncle Maximilien," let alone one with no eyes. Stop lying on the internet and stop leaving your soft-bodied organism carcasses on my front sandbed. It smells putrid.

Did anyone else happen to see @shalesifters poll on the landmasses (followed by the reblog of the mollusc)? I think that I was simply born in the wrong generation, that I should have been able to experience the joys of being a land-dweller. I may just have grown tired of being in the ocean every day; quite frankly I just want some sort of change or reform (especially considering the incredulous prices of jellyfish nowadays...)

#Rant #I hope you guys get the idea. I expect some (likely a copious amount of, actually) hate for this one, but regardless I thought that I'd share my thoughts here #I'd like to move to Laurentia

DNI if you support any of the anti-anomalocaris propaganda that's circling around. Sick and tired of the twisted lies that are being spread on here. I won't stand for the slandering of my brethren.

hey has anyone else noticed that it's been harder to breathe lately or is it just me? can't afford to go to the doctor for an exam rn

I thought that it was just me! I might sound crazy but have there been less archaeocyathids lately??

🐚 sand-muncher-757 Follow

i've had TWO neighbors pass away from hypoxia in the past month, definitely have noticed the breathing issues too. also i havent seen an archaeocyathid in so long either. so weird😬😬

Mighty Anomalocaris stirs, spreading dust and terror throughout the Cambrian sea. Opabinia, Hallucigenia, Pikaia, Canadia, Burgessia, Marella, and Elrathia can only hope the rocks and ridges they cover behind will hide them.

Interlude: What is a worm?

Yesterday, we've encountered our first undisputable "worm" phylum: Priapulida, the penis worms. Many more are to come, from nematodes to annelids, as the worm body plan is one of the most popular in the animal kingdom.

Despite the appearances, these worms aren't especially related to one another. Grouped together in the 18th century in Vermes, they have since been found to be of various affiliations: nematodes and priapulids, for instance, are closer to insects than to annelids!

In fact, a worm-like body plan - an elongated, limbless, flexible creature - is likely ancestral to bilaterians as a whole! Some phyla, like chordates or arthropods, later modified it to various extent by adding limbs and a rigid structure. But the earliest chordates like Pikaia remind us that our phylum started as nothing but stiffer worms.

Even in phyla seen as the most typical worms, like annelids, many species today have massively reshaped their body plan, developing new structures and straying far from their original worm status!

Imagine 💭a world where evolution tripped on a power line.💡 That's the Cambrian! Before dinosaurs, 🦖 before fish, 🐟 even before shells,🐚 the Cambrian seas flourished with life unlike anything we know. To dive 🥽deeper into its fascinations, hop onto this 2nd trip of the 'Zoofabulous Time Trek' with us where we'll be explorin' 🔎 the Cambrian period!

Pikaia lived 513-505 million years ago and was one of the earliest chordates, a diverse clade of animals consisting of all vertebrates, though not just vertebrates. This strange animal likely swam through the Cambrian seas like an eel. It had a small head with a pair of antenna-like tentacles. It had a small jawless mouth it could use to swallow particles of food whole.

This is technically the first episode of the Paleo Party! Before Pikaia, I had planned to do one Paleo Creature a week in 2021, but I fell off that train after 6... So I revamped with a new art style and the first guest was Pikaia gracilens!

[ESP] Dibujé un Pikaia, el animal más viejo con una proto-notocorda, lo que en un vertebrado el equivalente sería la columna vertebral. [ENG] I drew a Pikaia, the oldest animal with a proto-notochord, which the equivalent on vertebrate is the dorsal column.
