Priory_of_Sion Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Tongue Worms are nasty little fuckers(and arthropods) that usually infect the respiratory systems of us vertebrates. But, it seems like they've made a jump from infecting crusteceans to vertebrates between now and 425 million years ago or at least some ancestor made that leap as a 425 mya fossil has shown a tongue worm violating the personal space of a poor bivalve.

Priory_of_Sion Posted January 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 A paper on the discovery of nervous system impressions of the Cambrain arthropod fuxianuia. Pretty big since you don't usually get this level of preservation. It also concludes that the vision of fuxianuia was about the same as modern arthropods.

Donward Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 It's all over the news but scientists have found this lovely chap. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-38800987 The researchers were unable to find any evidence that the animal had an anus, which suggests that it consumed food and excreted from the same orifice. Gentlemen. We have found the first evolutionary evidence of Wehraboos! Sturgeon, Jeeps_Guns_Tanks, Priory_of_Sion and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priory_of_Sion Posted February 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Horseshoe Crabs are now nested within Arachnida and therefore there must have been either A) multiple terrestrial invasions by stem arachnids or B) horseshoe crabs went back into the ocean.
