  2. Kuckaraukia (Organisms 🐞)

    Kuckaraukia is a genus of enigmatic Ediacaran organisms known from fossil casts of a disc-shaped biogenic structure interpreted as bifoliate, with a structured bottom layer and a less resistant top layer. It is unknown if the fossils represent single animals or a colonial organism of some kind. == References...

  4. As for your agricultural production, we do not want to eat #Genetically #Modified #Organisms #GMO, so thanks but no thanks. No orange haired #mutants please. Neither #pesticides, thanks.

    We are also keen on " #Europe #First", or our #nations first, i.e. being #independant
    Because we are already great !

    A concept very difficult for you to understand , apparently

    This is just another pretext to harass your (best) friends
