Oh ya, the guy in the back of the last picture is a Marrella, thought to have evolved into crabs, spiders and trilobites.

And Hallucigenia is thought to be classified as a worm. They range from half a centimeter to 3cm long, have long tubular bodies and sport various paired appendages on both the sides/top and sides/bottom. When it was first reconstructed, it was pictures as walking on the stuff pointed appendages with tentacles waving in the water; it has more recently been reconstructed as walking on flexible legs with spines for protection in the up position. It has no known lineage to follow.

Yep. Thanks for the review. :)

Haha no problem. I can go on and on about weird animals. I started to take some courses in Paleoanthropology and we were just going over the Cambrian era and talking about all the freaky crap that was back then. My Plant Biology teacher is also a fan of really weird paleoplants and I love it.

Wow. You sound like the "me" I should have been. O:

I like your icon too. :)

I have always been fascinated with animals and plants since I was a little girl. Everyone knew I was going to go into something animal related come University. So I chose Anthropology, and hopefully am going to go into someone culturally related to ancient russian/nordic tribes that were around either the middle ages or before that. That, or am going to dig up bones in the Artic, which, if I've been reading correctly, is the hot spot right now for Precambrian and Cambrian fossils!
*end nerd*

And thanks :D

That reminds me. I did a couple years of Archeological studies in Elementary school during my "overly-intellegent" years. And advanced plant science in my first two years of high school.

Seemed like I really had a knack for it. But, alas. I felt I had more of an aptitude for computers. That got me far...*rolls eyes*

Then, it was culinary.

If/when I go to college again, I'll either end up majoring in culinary or maybe even anthropology. I know it's hard to do. But, I've got a mind for it. :D

I want to be able to cook :( I can barely make Mac&cheese without setting the kitchen on fire.

And I ALWAYS felt that if you loved the subject, you usually get good grades in it since you study it offtime as well. I had a really hard time in High school when I nearly dropped out and never went...yet I managed to pass Biology with one of the highest marks in class (93%). It was because I loved the subject and researched in my spare time :P

I pretty much failed my Senior year of HS, and ended up getting my GED. But, I always loved my APS classes since not only were they held on a completely different campus MILES away from HS, the campus was made completely for sales, studies, and science of plants. :D ( ... )

I am currently in my first year of University. I took a year off to regain my life back for lack of better words.

My brother has always been the chef/computer kid of the family, I was always the artsy airy space case that would stare at a plant for hours or help worms cross the sidewalk after it rained.

And haha, I did...not a whole lot with my life up until now. Unless you count making donuts for the biggest chain in Canada living. Woo~~~ Or if you count going to a concert almost every day for an entire year something I can claim as life experience.

Yeah. That works.

I've basically had the last 7 years off from going to school. I'm 25, and about ready to go back. Soon.... >.>'

I've heard making donuts are fun. :)

No, no it is not. I burnt my hand quite a bit until they decided we are going to get everything frozen and heat it up via oven. Woo go Shitty Hortons~

I'm planning on staying in school till I'm 30 so it works for me. I just turned 19 zeee
