Fossil Finders Documentary

[DickKuiper1]

Hello Gray Family,

Thanks for your lovely documentary. I remember how much fun it was to go rock hunting with my kids. Have you found some ammonites yet??

brachiopods did not live 600 million years ago not even 501 million years ago crystal and crystals are being formed now.

Per Wikipedia:

At their peak in the Paleozoic the brachiopods were among the most abundant filter-feeders and reef-builders, and occupied other ecological niches, including swimming in the jet-propulsion style of scallops. However, after the PermianTriassic extinction event, informally known as the "Great Dying", brachiopods recovered only a third of their former diversity. They were still quite diverse and adundant in the Jurassic and Cretaceous, but have slowly declined.
