I've seen a lot of pictures of this Anomalocaris toy, but too few that look really cool, so I ordered one and took it to the beach for a photo shoot =D

I think it's funny ^_^

I’ll have you know that anti-meiofaunal speech like that is incredibly nicheist. What’s he supposed to do about it, suddenly grow to as big as an Isoxys?

I second that. As a fellow sediment-feeder myself, I can confirm swedish_cyclops’s views are true.

Me obviously, I eat isoxyids for breakfast. I’m also twice the size of @proclamation_claw.

🦂 omnidens_worshipper

You do realise your phylum is dying out, right? Plus, I’m bigger than you and don’t even bother with the isoxyids.

bro what happened in the last 40 million years I swear the Ediacaran was yesterday

did you accidentally settle onto those paucipodia brownies @incertae_sedis made?

because I don’t think 40 million years of memory loss is normal.

it feels nice to finally be described as Mobulavermis adustus. I’ve also finally gotten a fossil with a preserved head!

hey @nonvermiform, how are you doing? it’s always nice to see you again with no company on the Yanjiahe seafloor but the weird stalked things.

🥔 nonvermiform

Doing alright. Although there were some radiodonts that tried to get a sifter to eat me.
