I spent months writing a damned good paper, in my opinion. Too bad one of my co-authors read it and pointed out a fatal flaw or two. Back to the beginning I go.

@johnjmeszaros These grooves are too thick to have been made by the caudal filament of a silverfish

For #FossilFriday, here's Trisulcus laqueatus, a trail from the #Jurassic of Massachusetts. Any ideas what made it? #Ichnology Coin is 1.9 cm in diameter.

[Dr Patrick Getty @Dr_P_Getty]

No one wants to take a guess at what made it. Well, here’s my guess, which will hopefully be in print early next year because I just submitted a paper on it. It’s an arthropod, and probably an insect.

Introducing Protomelission, the first bryozoan from the Cambrian fossil record. Bryozoans must now relinquish their claim to be the only phylum rich in fossils but lacking in the Cambrian. Represented by specimens from Australia and China with phosphatised cuticles.
