Fingal’s Cave in Scotland. Good example of how nature’s hexagonal bias can produce blocky shapes.

Do y'all want to see another ridiculous critter from the cambrian explosion?

[bubobubosibericus]

Ha! rhetorical question. The answer is yes. Behold, the worst creature to ever be blessed with a (very primitive) spine!

we used to think they were family to the crabs and my slightly older fossil identification guides still refer to them as a primitive echinoderm (Sea stars/sea urchins) but nope! these things turn out to have a spinal cord. Why do they have a spinal cord?? Madness!

Anyway gotta love the Cambrian explosion. S o much weird shit.

As someone who was recently in Fukui, this isn't even scratching the surface of how mad the town is for dinosaurs.

For example, here is the outside of the train station:

If you thought that they were only outside the station, think again!

The last dinosaur has a crab, because the region is known for seafood.

You can even buy coffee emblazoned with dinosaurs!

And that's not even getting into how you get to the nearby Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum. Behold, the Dino-Liner:

And if you're like, man I don't know how the museum will top all of these dinosaurs, boy do I have news for you.

And then you get to the cafe:

But, eventually, it was time to head back to the train station...on the dino bus.
