Some of those are lovely!

There are plenty more in the University Museum at Oxford. Maybe I should add those?

Wow! These are quite colossal. I'm glad we weren't alive when these were! We would have been like planktons in the sea to them.

It's amazing how these were actually recovered quite neatly and not damaged.

It's incredible as to how these fossils miraculously survived and were preserved in such conditions over the years as well. So many years have passed and the amount of land shifts that occurred over those years have been numerous with some being very powerful!

Yes, we'd be miniature beings to a ton of these creatures if they were still alive. Their great sizes and strange appearances ...it sure makes the creatures that these fossilized bones and remnants belonged to so much more mysterious and amazing!

^Just brilliant. So cool and beautiful in the way it was preserved. Seems like some type of arthropod I believe?

Either way, sure love the details of this fossil.

M. splendens is indeed an arthropod. A beautiful one at that.

It's from the Burgess Shale. Many interesting animals are from there.
