Proteins from the past!

BOSSES: Primarily my job while working for , this good boy is scale back, concepts inspired by ancient prehistoric fish in the Cambrian era. Exploring patterns was really fun for this guy too.

Cambrian ecosystems could be quite complex, with many of the hallmarks of a modern benthic community. The dioramas do a great job of showing this, with priapulids like Ottoia and Selkirkia being a major infaunal component. Second image from https://t.co/6UGECm1ICU

Today's Cambrian creatures (find them in 's new fossil hall opening this Saturday) are Ottoia (first) and Selkirkia (second). These predatory worms had vicious mouthparts covered in teeth, hooks and spines (third). Images https://t.co/ff6Sc6cqCk by

The Fossil Halls re-open this Saturday, so I want to highlight some cool invertebrates you'll find in the early life area. First is Waptia, an awesome Cambrian arthropod that's sometimes preserved with its eggs (ecr and ecl below)!

Reading an awesome acorn worm developmental bio paper. It can be so hard to find a clear drawing of a really specific structure (especially ones lost in ontogeny, like the juvenile post-anal tail); useful for my postdoc on their Cambrian cousins

Vetulicola are early deuterostomes from the Cambrian period. They are one of the oldest animals, living 525 million years ago. They were 9cm long & fed on plankton & seafloor debris.

Look. What is more likely.

A) Graboids evolved in the Precambrian era¹ to hunt sessile sponges.
b) Graboids, the most adept tunnelers in history, dug down into deeper fossil layers later.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

I am passionate about Cambrian life because they are all
1) Huggable 2) Kissable 3) Lovable. It is a scientific fact.

Palaeontology Coproliteposting is on a Cambrian kick and it’s honestly the most impressive collective display of memeing I’ve ever seen. https://t.co/DUAS6IWM81
