On this last #FossilFriday before Christmas I'd like to give you all something to watch!

The second pair of #GenuineRockstars of the year were @azerkle and @chrisjunium who explained the aftermath of the impact that killed the dinosaur by studying sulfur that got into the #Stratosphere
The #Cambrian Explosion marks the first appearance of many animal phyla in the #fossil record, but just how radical was it? I'm starting a new #FossilFriday thread where I post Cambrian fossil representatives of one phylum per week. Join me on this trek across the tree of life 
Let's begin with #Annelida. In the #Cambrian these come mainly from deposits of exceptional preservation. Polychaetes and sipunculids, including species with potential affinities to living families, are represented.
