I recall they are a pretty basic knowledge when it comes to paleozoic animals so I would expect them to know that name

[IronOrganism]

Trilobites! Are quite cool, I like them, because of their shape, and also how long as a group they survived.

Would you say they are a close second to the aegirocarris?

[IronOrganism]

Ehhh maybe… however any Anomalocarid (I think that’s the right term.) Would also be a close second too, I still have again to do more research. My knowledge is basic.

How did you even find out about aegirocarris?

[IronOrganism]

Well, since I do sometimes hyperfixite on things sometimes, I was watching a video one day, about aegirocarris, and then I guess I just remembered them recently, I just kinda thought they were really cool, and also large arthropods are really cool.

@IronOrganism

and also large arthropods are really cool.

Do you find this one cool?

[IronOrganism]

Yeah! I’ve heard of them before, now that I know their name! I find them cool, especially their two claw-like structures, the structures are called Chelicerae right? I find them quite interesting too! Just I don’t really know much about the Silurian, or Devonian as much as I should.

@IronOrganism Do you also like Horseshoe crabs? (I don’t know why the post became duplicated).

Horseshoe crab

Well I do like those, But I don’t think this question was directed to me, right?
Nvm you fixed it ig

[IronOrganism]

I mean I think they’re cool, just, there is something off about them to me, idk know what, they just feel average despite being unique to me.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Maybe that they are so mundane (lit) and defense-focused?

[IronOrganism]

Potentially, I also feel like they are just a Trilobite rip off, which I know is just entirely untrue, they are much different, but both in general, are defense based, sea invertebrates, that stay low to the ground, in general but I know there are many many differences.

One cool use of horseshoes is that we use their blood for a lot of medical stuff

Aren’t Horsecrabs also unchanged for around 450 million years?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Yeah they are pretty old, though the term “living fossil” itself is somewhat controversial
