So you know how paleontologists use different species of ammonites/trilobites/etc as index fossils to pinpoint geological time periods?
You can now do that with people by asking them about a blue cartoon dog

In 2023 I'm planning to make a new ammonite a month. If any cephalopod connoisseurs want to hit me with their favourite ammonites and extant cephalopods it would be much appreciated for inspiration.

16/ "Function" feels like a relative of "serpentine" and "dipole". Big concentric curves and fanning lines are gorgeous to look at, in some iterations remind me of nautilus and ammonites.

Riuri - ammonite
" Ammonites are excellent index fossils, and linking the rock layer in which a particular species or genus is found to specific geologic time periods is often possible. Their fossil shells usually take the form of planispirals. "
