This moss looks like the Cambrian animal Wiwaxia.

Thinking about fossil marine invertebrates that Kielan-Jaworowska studied at the beginning of her career, made me think of this pattern made from my linocut animal prints with collaged washi papers from the Cambrian Period (from 538.8 million to 485.4 million years ago). 🧵

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2013 I built 23 scale and life-size models for MUSE Science Museum, in Trento, Italy. Here's an enlarged Wiwaxia, an animal (possibly a mollusc) from the Early and Middle Cambrian.

@KateShaw has released a new episode, on wallabies, the literal bigfoot, and their natural opposite, Wiwaxia!

One of my wiwaxia for #InverteFest!

This is a handprinted Wiwaxia, a half billion year old soft-bodied animal covered in scales and spines. These animals lived in the early and middle Cambrian period and fossils are found worldwide, including in Canada's Burgess Shale. The animals themselves were only about 5 cm (2") but my linocut prints are much bigger.
