サカバンバスピスもかわいいけど、同じ無顎類ならば、化石本体(2枚目)の可愛さも込みでポリブランキアスピスを推したい。ちなみに開いているのは口ではなく呼吸孔で、採食時に使ういわゆる「口」は腹側部にあるそうです。

Morning folks! And we have a guest thread this morning from @TaitPlanning, who asks:
What UK habitat contains at least 15% of our nationally rare and scarce invertebrates?
🧵
makes u look at my mlp oc
her name's brittlestone, and she specializes in the invertebrate paleontology of Equestria!
Sure, finding the ancestors for ponies and dragons is cool, but she gets just as excited finding a new boneless sea creature!
A santhire, a large predatory vertebrate native to Selise, a moonless habitable planet.

Bivalves were the first and among the only animals on Praya. The group that would dominate the land stems from a group of bivalves adapted for a more mobile/worm like lifestyle. With no invertebrates other than them, or vertebrates they were free to radiate for 90million years https://t.co/dBgYmXIsT9
Protozoea (upper Jurrasic) and Mayrocaris (late Jurrasic)

Not many vertebrates are known from the Late Triassic Norian stage in Western North America: Shastasaurus (or Shonisaurus) sikkaniensis from the Pardonet formation of British Columbia was the largest marine reptile ever found. Gunakadeit was an odd thalattosaur from Alaska.
Helerrets are the most common salmonids that can be found in the rivers, lakes and wetlands of the continent. These medium sized predators mainly feed on the abundance of mollusks and other hard shelled invertebrates, as well as smaller vertebrates occasionally.

I guess this isn’t really a bad take, but I was thinking about it earlier. I miss when Fossil Pokemon were based off ancient lesser known animals (like marine invertebrates) instead of dinosaurs. Plenty of regular Pokemon look like dinosaurs, so it feels redundant. https://t.co/DfJJFOPLYQ
@ArtzoraStudios thank you for the chance!!!
my fun fact about myself is uh um. uhm. I have invertebrate pets! :D

@ChloeCarterArts Hello! 🦐 I research and illustrate crustaceans and other marine invertebrates! I enjoy sharing the things I learn with all of you! 💕
