I’ve been having some technical issues with the website over the last little while, which some of you may have noticed.  Mainly, it seems to be a problem with the blog’s MySQL database.  It’s difficult for me to know exactly how often the site has been down, since I only know when I encounter the [...]

The major exciting news today is that I’ve switched format of the comic from a PNG file to a slighty compressed JPEG. This cuts the file size in half, and should increase image load times for people with slower connections. I can’t actually see a difference quality-wise either (maybe slightly less definition in the shading [...]

This is pretty exciting! For the first time ever, Walcott’s Quarry is appearing in full 3D, in a guest comic courtesy of Traumador and his Friends at Prehistoric Insanity!  It’s an awesome comic, and it’s equally great to know that my wacky off-beat Cambrian humour inspires others! Anyway, the comic is below.  Check it out, [...]

Kudos to Chris Nedin over at Ediacaran for this post, which gave me this idea. And if you don’t know Traumador, run over to The Tyrannosaur Chronicles and find out! For humans, Christmas Monkey is a joyful time of year, a time to gather with family and friends, spend money we don’t have, gain weight, [...]

Happy Holidays from The Flying Trilobite and eTrilobite! This is my contribution to the Christmas trilobite extravaganza! Glendon at The Flying Trilobite beat my to the first post, but since I’m back in BC, he had a 3 hour head start! Glendon has done an uber-christmasy painting of Encrinurus. Check it out HERE. And don’t [...]

This week (ironically only one week after I accidentally forgot to post WC until Sunday) I’m delaying the comic until tomorrow (Sunday). This isn’t because I’m slacking, but because I’m teaming up with Glendon Mellow of The Flying Trilobite for a Trilobite-tastic Christmas special! We’re both hard at work on our yuletide trilobite art, and [...]

Since I haven’t really updated my blogroll since I started eTrilobite.com, I figure I have to update it a bit to justify its existence. I’m adding five new blogs, and well continue to add them five at a time, whenever I remember to do it, until I’ve run out of blogs to add. Why five? [...]

I’m really interested in paleontology, so a lot of you may be surprised to know that I’m not in the Sciences; I’m actually a History major (probably a Politics major soon, too).  Thus, I’m highly qualified to write this post. ScienceDaily.com has done something completely bizarre.  They have a story up about a study done [...]

Sorry for the day-late posting (shocking! shocking!). I actually made the comic a day early and set it to post on saturday (I thought) but it didn’t! I’ve been on the road travelling home for Christmas today, and was not able to catch the mistake until now! But without further ado, Walcott’s Quarry #35

I’m a very patriotic Canadian. I don’t spend a whole lot of time raving about how amazing Canada is on this blog, because the majority of my readers are Americans, and because it’s a science blog, and love of country is only loosely connected to trilobites. But I have come across an outrage that I [...]
