Happy Trilobite Tuesday! Most trilobite fossils are found as incomplete fragments of heads or tails. Others, like this rare, 1-in- (2.5-cm-) long Arapahoia from the Middle Cambrian of Utah, have been fossilized in mid-molt. This specimen is missing part of its facial structure.
It’s Trilobite Tuesday! Pictured is a rare, complete example of a trilobite of the genus Radiaspis. This 2-in- (5.1-cm-) long specimen was found in the Jorf Devonian outcrops of eastern Morocco. It took more than 30 hours to free this spinose critter from the surrounding limestone matrix.
Based off the Pachyrhinosaurus who apparently survived having half its face torn off, avoided kicking the bucket for a significant amount of time after that, and was still among the strongest of its herd.
That's a prehistoric Chad. I'm not kidding.
I don't know about dinosaur bone structure that much, but I'm pretty sure bro's brain had regular meetings with the sun.
