Saturday's Mystery Photo Revealed: They're Mima Mounds!

Scale is everything. This morning's mystery photo could have been on another planet, a satellite image of somewhere on Earth, a few inches across, or microscopic. Without scale, we can imagine just about anything because symmetry exists at all [...]

Here is a very large Greenops sp. pygidium that I found in the Bay View Coral bed of the Windom shale (Moscow Formation, Givetian stage of the Devonian). It's remarkable for me due to the size of the specimen and the preservation of the "tail [...]
