Maybe our resident author @jsheffield has heard. Id think in all his research & writing it’s popped up.

I found it for sale on Amazon. What? Looks like a pretty good old book. A treasure to keep for the grands.

Wow nice. It pops right up on Amazon. They had a couple of gently used hardcover for sale. And new paperbacks also. I love old books. I would want the original even if gently used to add to my library.?

The date I found was the same book published in 1967. Yours is even better.

Good mornynooning, Roommates! View attachment 340496

The Eumetozoa contains two groups.
The first is the Radiata which are radially symmetrical and include the weird and extinct Trilobozoa.

View attachment 340497as well as the wonderful comb jellies :

and the Cnidarians including jellyfish (here's one of my fossil ones, Essexella asherae from Mazon Creek in Illinois. 309 million years old.
View attachment 340499
The Cnidaria also include sea anemones and corals.
Here's the coral Grewingkia canadensis from Indiana, 445 million years old.

The other group of Eumetozoa are the Bilateria, bilaterally symmetrical animals.
Tidgy is a member of the Bilateria.

It's funny. A tortoise reminds me more of a radiata but also a star fish.?

I love old books. There's so much old knowledge and history in them. I taught my teenage sons from an old old math book when I had them in homeschool. It was so old and was a high school book that made the high school books in the 90's look like kindergarten. I wish I still had it.

I love books too - I have too many. I've stopped buying them and use the library instead. With technology taking over and charity shops not taking books as often as the used to, by the time I shake off my mortal coil I bet they'll all just go to landfill. Maybe my family can pile them up in the garden and have a big bonfire with me on the top.

Hence the expression 'he's a real fun guy!'

Indeed.

[Tidgy's Dad]

Rather than a coral, isn't that a shark's tooth? Are you just posting pictures to make sure we're paying attention?

Shark's teeth are far more simple.
This is a bit of a megalodon from my collection. They were between 14 to 20 metres in length, far bigger than recent sharks , though they only became extinct 3 million years back.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

It looks like a mosasourus tooth
But my brother confirmed it is a coral

Mosasaur fossils are quite common in Morocco.
But the teeth are very different from species to species, some are flat or rounded for eating molluscs, others are sharper for quick kills on smaller prey, others still large and pointed for capturing big prey. They were all lizards. Literally belonging to the lizard group, not dinosaurs, ichthyosaurs or whatnot
Don't have teeth photographed at the moment, I've given most of mine away as it's not my thing.
But here's some Mosasaur vertebrae.

[Tidgy's Dad]

I read at least one book every day. And at least one scientific paper.
When I'm well and sober that is.
Which isn't often.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Early Bilateria include the Xenocoelomorpha.
Not quite sure which one, but Tidgy and I are probably descended from something very like ;

Bilateria first appeared about 560 million years ago.
