I used Blender to model/animate and render these, and then Aftereffects to tweak around the final color balance/levels

Alt: the scene shows a dark green potato shaped nautiloid on the right side with a t shaped slit on the bottom where the face protrudes out of
behind it are crinoids, stalked sea lilies with an egg shaped crown at the end, like a flower bud. on the crown are radial grooves that fits the arms

Alt: Trimeroceras (a nautiloid with potato shaped shell with a narrow T shaped opening underneath the shell for the face to poke through ) swims through a tangle of crinoids (cicerocrinus, a Silurian sea lily with a less complex 'feather'-less arm than modern day ones)

Yes it's Pentameroceras mirum

Mussini et al., 2024, in its reassessment of a more well-known Cambrian chordate, Pikaia, treats them as stem-chordates, as a paraphyletic grade that gave rise to all crown-group chordates.
Interestingly, Mussini et al., 2024 does not mention García-Bellido et al. 2014 and its conclusions.

Alt: Blender 3D viewport of an animated Dawsonoceras from a video project last year, the nautiloid squid-like head shown retracting into the long conical shell (this took so long to animate nowadays I avoid doing this with nautiloids unless really necessary)

alt: Camera pans from right to left, close up to a roughly 2cm long trilobite (palaeolenus) among a tight cluster of Neobolus brachiopods (not mollusks but they have a bivalved circular shell). Some shells have parasitic organisms recognizable from their conical pointy tubes

Isoxys has a taco shaped carapace enveloping its entire body. its segmented body is hidden inside the 'taco' with swimming legs, poking out of it. In front it has two appendages that look like segmented tusks. It has two eyes visible in the front, poking out . They are flitting around the aquarium

Thankyou, I remembered seeing your trilobite models for the first time and it being one of the reasons i felt like animating one isn't impossible after all
