"The museum has not found the bug itself. What it did find in a remote canyon near Española were the fossilized tracks of such a creature"How do they know it was a bug?

The bugs whacked us Johnny...

That bug probably resembles Bill and Hellarys first and final attempt at siring an alleged child. They killed it too, of course.

My BS meter is off the charts. Why? This thing lived at a time when the world was crittered by dragonflies with 60 cm wingspans and 20 cm-long cockroaches.

Too funny !
But the bug in that picture is a model.
The bug that left the tracks in a fossil specimen is estimated to be 8ft long.

Fewer plants. Plants during this period were growing like crazy, pumping huge amounts of oxygen into the atmosphere (hence the really big bugs). At the end of this period, the oxygen levels dropped (maybe from global cooling and drying killing off a lot of the world's vegetation).

Quibbles! It's a hugh, disgusting bug, however you date it! You have to be really, really lonely to date that.

I'd rather take my chances with an 8-foot crocodile. It's only a reptile, after all.

This is basically the Tyrannosaurus of the Pennsylvanian period. This is the basic arthropleura of the Massachusetts era.

"...but 300 million years ago...New Mexico was near the equator then, and the land was much warmer and wetter...." My complaining to myself about traffic this a.m. is so insignifiant whenb I read statements like these. I've come to this conclusion though: On the whole as a species, "we deserve to be in traffic".<---LOL on a Pessimistic Friday

Hey shaggy...they copied your driver's license photo.
Though Muttly ambles through the ferns often,
only your photogenic contributions remind me of how much more cautious i should be.
