Mark Kmiecik Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Trilobites are laterally symmetrical. Blastoids are radially symmetrical. I'm seeing radial symmetry. I'm in the blastoid camp. 1 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranha Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 At first glance I thought these highlighted areas looked like an axial furrow. Now I'm becoming less convinced... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
