Life Before the Dinosaurs. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. There are two species of Amplectobelua: Amplectobelua stephenensis and Amplectobelua symbrachiata. A. stephenensis was found in the Burgess Shale, and A. symbrachiata was found in the Chengjiang. This image shows Amplectobelua swimming with two Myllokunmingia and probably trying to eat them.

Life Before the Dinosaurs: July 2014
http://www.lifebeforethedinosaurs.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Life Before the Dinosaurs. Thursday, July 17, 2014. Lyrarapax is a new anomalocarid described on July 16, 2014. It’s the first known fossil of an anomalocarid that preserved the brain. The muscles of the swimming lobes are also preserved in the fossils. The study was published in the journal Nature, but I didn’t have access to the full article, only the abstract. My illustration of the head of Lyrarapax showing the brain and neural system. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I started this blog when I was seven ...

Life Before the Dinosaurs. Friday, August 17, 2012. Ctenoimbricata (ten-oh-im-bri-kah-tuh) was an early echinoderm that looked a lot like a trilobite. It lived in the Cambrian, and the only two known specimens were found in Spain. It was described by researchers at the Natural History Museum of London and the University of Birmingham in 2012.

Nice to have that all worked out - everything seems to be going together well. Etc I proved to myself yet again that I am a very good fretter. Thursday, July 19, 2007. I got a n...

Thoughts from a random place...: June 2009
http://thoughtsfromarandomplace.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thoughts from a random place. Monday, June 01, 2009. Marble Canyon: First Ascent. On our new climbing rope! Our majestic yellow and blue and red baby. The view from the road - driving out of Vancouver, en route to Chilliwack, on a gloriously sunny and warm day. A buttercup with the pollinators doing their thing. A lunchtime break along the backroads of BC. On our way to Marbl Canyon. Further moments of our lunch break - pondering the canyon. I think this is her after that first climb. Still on my way down.
