Since I’ll be on a plane tomorrow, flying thousands of miles to my new place, I figured I’d give you Walcott’s Quarry early again this week. Since I’m moving, I figured it’d be a good time to send Walcott out on a journey, too. This is part one of what will probably be a three-part [...]

Well, it looks like we’ll be having a federal election some time in the next month or two in Canada (campaigns are limited to 40 days, so ours could be announced, run, and won before the American election in November). So in honor of this exciting (possible) election, I started visiting the websites of some [...]

It’s one of the oldest, least helpful stories in most science texts, and finally, it’s going down. For more than sixty years, textbooks have taught us that Neanderthals went extinct because they were less intelligent than Homo sapiens. Because of their (supposed) idiocy, we beat them in the arms race, and were the first to [...]

Well, I’m going away for the weekend, and I’m not sure whether I’ll have access to the internet at any point when I’m gone. Therefore, you’re getting Walcott’s Quarry early this week! This week, I poke a little bit of fun at Simon Conway-Morris, for his angry response to Gould’s views on evolution (in fact, [...]

This post first appeared on my original blog, over at Blogspot. However, I feel that it’s one of my best posts, and deserves to be reposted for new readers, and for posterity, on eTrilobite.com. Without further ado, here is the interview with trilobite expert and all-round great guy, Sam Gon III. PaleoProfile: Sam Gon III [...]

Trilobite Clothing Redesign If you have visited the Trilobite Clothing store in the last few days, you probably noticed that the changes I promised in my last post on the subject of the store are now beginning to take place. I’m at about the halfway point right now, and hope to finish the shift by [...]

I’m way behind the ball on this one, but I figured I’d post about it anyways. So, how’s this for a question of the day. Did Schweitzer et al. actually discover preserved soft tissue from a dinosaur in 2005? A new paper published in PLoS ONE suggests that the soft, pliable material discovered was not [...]

*note* This comic is pretty cryptic if you don’t understand trilobite trace fossils. Check out Trilobites.info to learn all about them.

I don’t have a lot of time to post today, so I thought I’d base my post off of something Brian over at Laelaps wrote earlier, on the subject of communicating science. One point he made that really caught my attention was that we are basically fighting the same battles as we were in the ’20s. [...]

Most (although maybe not all) of you know that I run a paleontology themed clothing store at Cafepress.com, called Trilobite Clothing. I don’t mention it a whole lot on this blog, because I’d like to be thought of as a science blogger, not as another online marketing hack trying to sell to you through a [...]
