I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS POST.
Last night I was reflecting back and I was thinking about a time in Jamaica where I was in the upper elevations of St Elizabeth where marl was being mined and I just so happened to pick up a chunk just as shows here, and I cracked it in half and inside was a plant with roots still attached and this chunk was from deep inside a limestone deposit...I've been getting these deja vu episodes lately and now here's another one....also, I've seen many of these fossil types in the Caribbean.

Trilobites are flat because the Earth is flat. DUH!
And Trilobites don't even exist because the Earth is 7,000 years old.
What you are really looking at is Satan tricking you!

...FYI...if anyone here ever goes to Jamaica, more specifically Negril, go to the West end on the cliffs and there's a place called "Joseph's Cave Bar"...it's no longer a bar and the owners are well aged but offer a few bucks and go down into the cave, it was formed millions of years ago from volcanic activity where trapped water formed a cavity and the steam blew out the top (blow hole), but on the face of that Cave, the ocean rolls right into it and is great for swimming, on the face of the Cave is a fossilized imprint of a big prehistoric fish that has the big protruding mouth and huge eye sockets, that fish had to be about 30lbs or so...but it's well preserved and detailed, obviously trapped by molten lava and rapidly cooled by the sea water to leave the imprint...also, in some upper elevations, like 500 ft above sea level, I've found many sea shells and fossils which means that the sea level was that high at one time or, most likely, there was an upthrust from the ocean bottom. There's a geological theory that I happened across while in Barbados, it was a science program aired out of Brazil, and the discussion was about the formation of the Caribbean and Central America and the theory was that the Caribbean Archipelago and the Central American isthmus were at one time a land mass connected to Africa with Madagascar being the 1st breakaway chunk...but as the dynamics of earth adjusted and the continents were in their 3rd stage of formation the land mass from Africa lodged between South and North America and then fragmented again causing breakaway terra formations to position throughout the Caribbean...and the only plausibility of this theory comes from the fact that on the island of Jamaica there's a species of tree that is found only in Africa, those trees can be seen in the "Petersfield, Darlston" regions of the Island...this stuff is interesting.

This is not mildly interesting, this is SUPER interesting. I want to know more!

1. Trilobites died off looong before dinosaurs came into being.

2. They wouldn't be kosher, either.

I wonder if this could live in today's oceans? Are the water parameters and salinity etc similar enough to just throw one over your boat and have it not die of shock?

Back in the day, I had horseshoe crabs in my reef tanks. They're a similarly ancient and fuckin weird sea creature. I'd often think of trilobites when one would pop out of hiding.
