Being a chordate is great but sometimes I wish I could just scuttle along the sea floor again without a care in the world.

Ediacaran: These kids with there exoskeletons and eyes, think they’re so cool.

Yep I remember

Hell yeah, crystal eyes! Those were the days. Having squishy soft human eyes is the worst. A tiny fleck of sand in them ruins your day. Hell, even an eyelash is awful. Not like having literal crystal calcium carbonate eyes! Sand isn’t shit against that.

For me the creepiest thing about ancient critters was the first emergence of shelled animals. The shells mean that there were other critters swimming around eating up all the non-shelled animals, but there isn’t any trace remaining of these early predators so we have no idea at all about what they looked like.
