Neat paper out today by Jin-bo Hou, Nigel Hughes, and my former postdoc advisor Melanie Hopkins detailing structures showing how trilobites could clean their gills!

Figuring out how ancient creatures lived and moved is always awesome.

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

XVIII: Fall of A Dynasty

+100K Years

As the oceans turn anoxic, deadly pink/purple hydrogen-sulfide producing bacteria begin to thrive. Over thousands of years, the H2S spreads, poisoning the seas and killing off many groups of animals, including the trilobites. (1/2)

El professor Trilobites, el becari i el gos Lelo tornen per fer-ne una altra de grossa! Ara volen anar a Nigèria a buscar un fòssil dentut... Trobareu aquesta nova aventura paleontològica d’en Lluïsot al 1448!

XVIII: Fall of A Dynasty

+100K Years

In what's now Malaysia, a herd of Pseudophillipsia sumatrensis- some of the very last trilobites on Earth- succumb to anoxia. As they join the other inhabitants of a now sterile sea in death, a pall of doom spreads. (1/3)

~500 million years ago: in a relative short time of 20 million years many organisms with hard outer shells evolve, some bizarre, like Anomalocaris, some today common fossils, like trilobites

trilo's name could have been trilobite because as we saw in the last case of the previous game, trilobites are still around

are a pretty massive group of arthropods that spanned from the early Cambrian to the Permian.. They're so common that they make excellent index fossils, meaning they can be used to date other fossils within their strata. This one is based on the genus Paradoxides!

Stumbled upon this wild fossil. Mimetaster hexagonalis was a marrellomorph arthropod, a distant relative of trilobites. This particular specimen was preserved in pyrite in the German Hunsrück Slate.

The Trilobites.

They’re the OG cockroaches on earth. They were everywhere and they survived 4 huge extinction events and they saw our ancestors took to land. They died alongside our reptile ancestors.

True. I've always thought that trilobites were the last perfect form. Humans, as representatives of life on Earth, are taking us downhill pretty fast.

How many of us actually understand the meaning of the word "emergency" in the phrase, ?

Great coverage of and 's new paper on the licentious habits of trilobites. Choice passages: "shroud of mystery," "flexible fingerlike," "shriveled limbs," "spiny backside." Will the scandal never end?
