I've always felt that enrolled Phacops trilobites head-on view also fit the description very well.

Is this one also going to be your pet?

Although I envy those who discover new fossils   , the admiration for the resourcefulness in naming them  took the upper hand.

Nope - my pets need to be fluffy . There is nothing cute or fluffy about Darth Vader, unfortunately (for him).
