According to Stokes, a member of the public rose from the floor to ask a question.

“Considering the other types of fossils found in the area, he asked “What about brachiopods?” There was no official response and no further discussion from the floor,” Stokes said, adding, “To settle this controversy before it gets out of hand, we note that brachiopods — a shelled, filter feeding organism, are far more abundant than trilobites. However, our official position is that trilobites are cooler and the real reason for visitors to come to Hamburg.”

You're right, he does. 

I am on Penn Dixie's mailing list so Dr Stokes sends me their monthly newsletter and updates so I have the right to protest in the strongest possible terms!

Really should be 'brachiopoda', in Latin, I suppose, so I used a bit or artistic license.
