Another 'weird wonder' funding a home on the evolutionary tree of life? The #Carboniferous Typhloesus had a mollusc-like radula and preyed on conodonts.

Only 10 days left until the newest #Cambrian #BurgessShale #fossil discovery takes flight. I promise it'll be out of this world... 🛸 Get in touch if you're interested in the story!

For #FossilFriday I give you Peronopsis, a 506 million year old agnostinid #arthropod from the #BurgessShale, complete with intricately-preserved branching tubes of its digestive tract!

In honour of Charles D. Walcott's birthday, here are a few photos from my trip to his famous #BurgessShale quarry in 2017. Wishing I was back there now...
Thanks for playing #guessthefossil! And the identity is...aperture of a bizarre #cephalopod (I believe Pristeroceras timidum) from the #Silurian Bertie Group! The shell is "faceplanted", so we're seeing the holes where the arms and siphon would have emerged from. https://t.co/81KeKmyKLk
For #TrilobiteTuesday I'm throwing back to our year-old paper on #BurgessShale agnostids...you decide whether or not they qualify as #trilobites😉https://t.co/LVRp8xRISl

For #FossilFriday here's Haplophrentis carinatus from Stanley Glacier (#BurgessShale) with feeding tentacles preserved. This was a key #fossil that provided a link between #hyoliths and #brachiopods, and it may have a cameo in my upcoming NPGS talk...
