amphipod Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 There were some awesome bivalves back then as well those rudists were cool. I'd bet they'd be aquarists favorite, they presumably wouldn't have any stinging ability, so wouldn't be damaging to other livestock, also their column growth could allow many fish and inverts hiding spots with relative safety.

amphipod Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 What about the lobopods? Link to comment
Nor_Cal_Cuber Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'm sure a sea world style orca tank would suffice.https://www.paleodirect.com/mosa1.htm . those chitons look lots like trilobites, so do some of those isopods. did it work well? Not sure yet, haven't tried it out. Reviews on Amazon seem decent. I am excited to try it. Link to comment

charnelhouse Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 No Sandy Cheeks off Spongebob Squarepants. Mmmm Sandy Cheeks is also terrestrial. Hence the dive suit. Link to comment

tibbsy07 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Bacteria exist in our tanks. They are prehistoric. They're really old. Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Bacteria exist in our tanks. They are prehistoric. They're really old. true also any other wild living existence is. By definition prehistoric, all before written history. I'm looking for extinct, we need to use our imaginations. Link to comment

Psychosis Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Horse shoe crabs are living fossils (something in the 450 million year mostly unchanged range.) . I'm not saying you should keep one, but it's a fact. Sponges are even older. Should you feed them gravy in an unheated tank aquascaped with the bones of rodents and felines? Probably not.

mattyfelts Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 i had a fist year earth science GA and he did alot of research into fossilization etc. mainly minerals and rocks but he did alot of his research on [fossilized?] trilobites, he showed us pictures of specimens he collected where they would "orgy" and then be buried for eternity until he would dig them up. interesting Link to comment
natalia_la_loca Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I've always thought diplocaulus were cute. kind of like a hammerhead axolotl. Not huge, but too big for a nano. Hexagonaria percarinata (petoskey stones) look like they might have been kind of similar to acans or micromussa. Be careful picking out your trilobites...bet some of them were temperamental. The gorilla crabs of the ordovician. Link to comment

The gorilla crabs of the ordovician. maybe a very large aquarium would suffice for diplocaulus pair. You are probably right about hexagonaria as a whole. Also lol gorilla trilobite's hide in your setup and destroy everything.Proteus and phacops probably would be destructive, built like a tank also. Link to comment
amphipod Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Wonder about wiwaxia, sea cucumbers of the past, essential sand sifter for your CUC. Link to comment
