Flooding the ark

Remember, gang, we're trying to flood the Modulator's Friday Ark with invertebrates and other non-boring organisms. Post pictures of your favorite chitinous/boneless/squamous/amorphous/squishy/crunchy/deceased critter to your weblog and pass along a link. It'll be the invasion of the neglected biota!

  1. I'm looking forward to seeing how he classifies a 300 million year old mass mortality layer of a taxon that still has living representatives.

    The cool thing about my life is that I just happen to have such a thing sitting on my back porch.

  8. I've been getting lots of fine boarders! Keep it up.

    I let Chris categorize his boarders as invertebrates though he does have a strong case for all the ones that didn't make it.

    Yep, even found a place for the granite.

  11. First post here, although I have been reading entries of late. Helped to re-spark an interest in biology (and maybe help me get into teaching it to kids). In recognition, I posted to my LJ (no blog, sorry, so hopefully this counts) a creature my invert prof loved - the Rotifer. Euchlanis, particularly.
