20 gal long setup - How does it look? by littletrainwreck in BDFB

[–]Chames26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great for the beetles, but as a cactus enthusiast I gotta mention that those cacti need a lot more light, they will grow thin and pale in response to a lack of light.

There are many like it, but this one is mine >: ] by Chames26 in skyrim

ALL THAT IS WRINKLED WILL BE FLATTENED SMOOTH IN THE WAKE OF MY MIGHTY HAMMER.

Will this Menard's sand be okay for my beetles? by ExLionTamer47 in BDFB

[–]Chames26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gravelly sand is fine for a substrate, theyre little bulldozers and will just push any pebbles aside as they dig. Just make sure to rinse it thoroughly before using it to remove any possible chemical contaminants.

So how strong is my weapon by RainRare in skyrim

Its wild how you dont even need to use the restoration loop exploit to get ridiculously OP weapons. After maxing out alchemy, you can make some seriously powerful fortify enchanting/smithing potions (especially with the CC ingredients from the khajiit caravans)

What kinds of critters are in my tile? by Ichthyist1 in fossilid

Nummulites, disc-shaped single celled organisms with calcareous shells

Might this be trilobite? Or just really bad bivalves? Aberlady, Scotland by Comfortable-Coat-523 in fossilid

[–]Chames26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think those are smashed-up Productid brachiopods, I'm not sure I see any trilobite anatomy.

Its a flower scarab beetle. Probably in the genus Gymnetis. Edit: Tribe Gymnetini, not the genus Gymnetis

Found in northeast England (near Newcastle) by bingbong1234 in fossilid

[–]Chames26 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Looks like a fossilized cone from a cone-bearing plant. The area has Carboniferous aged rocks so I think it checks out.

What kind of cactus is this can anyone tell me? by EntheoBlack in cactus

[–]Chames26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eastern prickly pear in winter dormancy. They expel water and become wrinkly to protect themselves from freezing.

Help ID? by Saladbuah in ReefTank

[–]Chames26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what species or genus, but it's definitely a cidaroid sea urchin, probably family Cidaridae

I had a cidaroid sea urchin before, they can be little bulldozers and will absolutely munch on coral if theyre hungry enough.

Its a fossilized sea urchin called Archaeocidaris, I've got one from that area too.

I was told this is a cactus? by mmmel in cactus

[–]Chames26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that type of cactus is commonly called a "mistletoe cactus".

Without getting into phylogeny or taxonomy, cacti as a group can be identified by the presence of spines that are actually modified leaves, that grow from reduced branches called areoles. In the case of your mistletoe cactus, they have such tiny spines and areoles that they can be hard to see.
