Auspex Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Impressive! The invert burrows are the prize (in my mind, anyway); a snapshot of the economies of the ecology!

snolly50 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 This is fascinating. Thanks for the post. It is a wonderful example of scientific inquiry trumping our natural "will to believe." That is, it's wonderful to observe something amazing, but the true beauty is in the method that leads our observations to the best possible understanding. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Still, long live the legend of El Grunto!
