Cole Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Pretty cool whatever it is! Cole~ Knowledge has three degrees-opinion, science, illumination. The means or instrument of the first is sense; of the second, dialectic; of the third, intuition.

Missourian Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Nice! I hope there's more to be found. For comparison: http://www.amberabg.com/b_systematyka/arthropleura.html Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
