Ordovician Mass Extinction Feb 12

[Architeuthoceras]

On Animal Planet "Animal Armageddon". I just imagine it will show a few large Nautiloids get exterminated.

 

[Fujisawas Sake]

They'll be back...

On good authority, "Lots of large Nautiloids"

For those who missed it, Meet the Creatures

If you did miss it, you really missed out

 

[Thales]

That was really fun. Go gamma bursts!

Here is a nice video of the nautiloids in action: Click here. I do hope this gets shown in the UK or is released on DVD. It looks like a well made and fun series.

K/T extinction tonite and next week, maybe we'll see some ammonites.

Animal Armagedon

I saw a couple of "tractor tire size" ammonites get vaporized. I also noticed the the ammonites had 2 tentacles with clubs and if the same as here, they have 10 arms, that makes 12
