Thinking about fossil marine invertebrates that Keilan-Jaworowska studied at the beginning of her career, made me think of this pattern from my linocut animal prints with collaged washi papers from the Cambrian Period (from 538.8 million to 485.4 million years ago). 🧵 #linocut #printmaking #pattern - ThreadSky

Very cool. Do you know about the Conservation Letters journal cover contest? Enter by 31 Jan. https://bsky.app/profile/consletters.bsky.social/post/3lcnbbzyky22t

Thank you! No, I hadn’t seen that.

cecallihelper.bsky.social•39 days ago

lol... spoke too soon...maybe they were just doing something temporary - the shared folder with submissions is back.

cecallihelper.bsky.social•39 days ago

Sorry, they've removed the dhared drive access. Probably for the best.

cecallihelper.bsky.social•39 days ago

So far there are 8 entrants, 7 women. Perhaps you can join us. Once you begin the process you can access the folder in the shared google drive and see the submissions.

The spiky handprinted Wiwaxia, a half billion year old soft-bodied animal covered in scales & spines lived in the early & middle Cambrian period & fossils are found worldwide, including in Canada’s Burgess Shale. The animals themselves were only about 5 cm (2”).

The fossils of this unmistakable

5-eyed Opabinia, (with eyes on stalks, no less) a soft-bodied 7 cm long animal are found in the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale Lagerstätte (505 million years ago). Opabinia likely caught prey with the grasping claws on the end of its long tubular proboscis (like an elephant’s trunk).

Trilobites were

widespread. This Cheirurus ingricus lived during the Late Cambrian through the Early Devonian era from about 500-390 million years. Trilobites were arthropods (as are modern day insects, lobsters, shrimp & more) which left fossils of their exoskeletons worldwide.

There are many thousands of different species & their fossils have been important to biostratigraphy, paleontology, evolutionary biology, & plate tectonics.

You can find this pattern in the Minouette Spoonflower shop!

gorgeous! and those shapes are so tiny- how did you do that?!
