Did agnostids have eyes?

Most lacked them, hinting at a life in dim ocean depths. Fascinated by Paleozoic life? Share this with fellow fossil fans!

Paleodictyon is one of the longest-standing cold cases in : a hexagonal burrow network found on every continent, from the Cambrian to the modern abyss, with no known maker.

Our new study uses morphometrics to build a profile of the animal behind it.

For over half a billion years, a honeycomb structure has been appearing on the deep-sea floor. Leonardo drew it. In our new study, we reconstructed what its maker looked like! Now covered by 👇

For half a billion years, something has been weaving hexagonal nets within the seafloor. Nobody has ever seen it.

In our new paper we ask whether the maker of Paleodictyon could be an arthropod — and test it.

I photographed two beautiful ichnofossils: Zoophycos from the Carboniferous and a Pleistocene-Holocene cocoon! 🤩 Zoophycos impresses with its helical pattern, while the cocoon fossil reveals fascinating details of ancient life cycles. I can't decide which is more beautiful. Vote in the comments: 🌀 for Zoophycos, or 🐛 for cocoon!

Fossil burrows, borings, trails, coprolites... How can these trace fossils broaden our scientific understanding? By providing unique insights into behaviour, they inform beyond what body fossils (e.g., shells and bones) offer. Want to dive deeper? Follow me!

Could it be a chart of R'lyeh? An alien hive? Or the swirling chaos of ? Actually, it's a section of a dinosaur's bone!
