Lol, the French weren’t eating enough snails!
I’d eat a crow before I’d eat a snail.
So it’s not humans that are responsible for everything but the slugs...
It wasn’t global warming, it was global sliming.
This reminds me of the Monte Python routine with John Cleese doing the TV documentary on mollusks.
Lol, “eating crow” just doesn’t sound good in many ways!!
I agree about snails. Garden snails are bad this year and they are yucky deluxe
It is a funny word!
If the liberals believe in survival of the fittest, then why do they freak out about mass extinctions? The mollusks survived, life went on. Based on pure Darwinism, we should even repeal the Endangered Species Act.
“Don’t forget the beer. Can’t eat mollusks without a healthy portion of beer.”
Dirty Nellie’s - best oysters and beer in the world, and good company.
That includes snails too,my FRiend!
Before going to PMSNBC to read this report, I was wondering if this is a report on Scientology?
Headline: Mollusks likely caused world's worst extinction
From the article: "The abundance of mollusks we see are symptoms of the conditions that ultimately caused the extinction."
Headline dudes: mollusks a symptom not a cause.
Oh, BTW, how could there have been global warming before there were humans and an industrial revolution?
Looks like an Olennellus. You should see the one I got from my Geology professor that came from the Fruitville Quarry, Lancaster, Pa. About 550 million years old.
It really does look like Nancy Pelosi, Helen Thomas, and Cindy Sheehan, collectively. No wonder we call them “old fossils”.
Beautiful trilobite....Rana pipiens. When fossilized coiled it looks like a frog. Just beautiful. Devonian
The Prisoner:
“I am not a number. I’m a person”
He, he... They must have been muslim mollusks.
Sure you are not talking about the Phacops Rana, Silica, Ohio (Devonian I believe)?
You have got to check out its eyelens. Scores of them are visible in a good specimen.
There are great Moroccan trilobites on the market that are very inexpensive. My kids got me an Ollenellus that is about 10 inches long for about $75 in Alexandria, Va.
I once wanted to buy a Moroccan ammonoid, but it cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, weighed about 300 pounds, and was the size of a squashed Volkswagen. It would not fit in my car or in my house. Oh the pity.
Elrathi kingi are kinda cute for little critters.
Good digging!
The bubble. :)
