  1. Life's Weirdest Experiments: The Burgess Shale

    In Yoho National Park lies a 508-million-year-old fossil bed that rewrote evolutionary history. The Burgess Shale preserves the soft tissues of creatures from the Cambrian Explosion, like the five-eyed Opabinia. These fossils reveal a time of wild evolutionary experiments, making it one of the most important paleontological sites on Earth. 🤯 #Canada #BurgessShale #CanadaIsAwesome #Paleontology 🇨🇦

  6. Listened to a podcast about weird evolutionary paths critters took and it was mostly about #BurgessShale cuties. I should see if there's a set of magnets for those on Etsy or something.

    Also, puzzling out what they looked like from the #fossils? Madness. I doff my hat to ya. #science #cambrian

  26. Paleontologists discover 506-million-year-old predator phys.org/news/2025-05-paleonto

    Early evolvability in arthropod tagmosis exemplified by a new radiodont from the #BurgessShale royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

    "Mosura fentoni was about the size of an index finger and had 3 eyes, spiny jointed claws, a circular mouth lined with teeth and a body with swimming flaps along its sides. These traits show it to be part of an #extinct group known as the #radiodonts, which also included the famous #Anomalocaris"

  31. With the upcoming federal elections in May here in Australia, Peter Dutton, the leader of the Slightly More Conservative but Anti Renewable Energy Party has been doing his best to look like his idol, Trump.
    Here he is contorting his little mouth so as to imitate the sponging mouth parts of a pre-Cambrian bottom feeding sea creature, like Trump!

    "#Helmetia expansa belongs to a rare group of early #arthropods called concilitergans, close relatives of #trilobites. Unlike trilobites, concilitergans lacked calcified exoskeletons, so their remains only fossilized under exceptional conditions—like those in the 508-million-year-old #BurgessShale of Canada, where even soft tissues like guts, legs, and gills were preserved."

  41. Thinking about fossil marine invertebrates that Kielan-Jaworowska studied at the beginning of her career, made me think of this pattern made from my linocut animal prints with collaged washi papers from the Cambrian Period (from 538.8 million to 485.4 million years ago). 🧵
