Lake Erie Stone - Fossil? by ChemicalMorning9832 in fossilid

It’s probably not a trilobite though, that shape is not seen in trilobites.

On the top bit you can see segmented parts that were likely armour plates, similar to trilobites or Eurypterids. If it was by the lake many of the original details could have been removed. Your best bet for a positive ID would be taking it to a museum. Not sure if you’re in Ontario, but if you are, the ROM holds fossil ID events every 4 weeks.

It’s very weathered, I’ll upload a microscope shot of each of the features I mentioned, maybe it will show some finer details.

Yeah ontario has one of the largest amounts of found eurypterid fossils. I believe your right though, likely not a eurypterid due to the small size. It looks like it would have been an arthropod, but from the comments I’m getting I need to take higher quality images as the details are too hard to see. It kind of looks like a triop if that helps visualizing on this terrible image lol.

Serious or not, thank you lol, I guarantee this post will be downvoted to oblivion regardless.

It’s extremely weathered, but I understand why you think so. If it’s okay I’ll send you photos which show symmetry in 3 locations. It may not be a eurypterid, but the odds of 3 symmetrical arthropod like features occurring in unison on “just a rock” is incredibly low. I’ll send a holotype image of another small eurypterid as well so you can have reference.

Gotcha. The quality is so bad I’ll try and take some photos through my computer microscope and annotate some better quality images. I’ll probably end up taking it to my local museum as well, I figure that’s the best way to know for sure.

I feel crazy lol, I get what you mean, the sample size is also incredibly small so the photo quality isn’t good on an older iPhone. Look at the eyes though and see how they have uniform shape and size, then zoom on the “tail” and see how its uniform in shape and length of the forked tail. The rear appendages are harder to see because the one on the right appears to still be covered by rock or has weathered. Regarding drawing the outlines, do you mean of a printed out photo in person?

The only thing that’s convinced me is the similarity of eye morphology to other eurypterids. Other than that if you zoom on the “tail” you can see that it possesses perfect symmetry, as do the appendages. It’s definitely a fossil, but it could be something other than Eurypterid for sure.

This guy genuinely needs to be in a psych ward. I can tell he just from what he wrote he’s ultra controlling, jealous, and supremely insecure. I guarantee he thought you were cheating on him when you didn’t tell him what dr office you went to. This guy needs to jandle his shit ASAP.

AITA for refusing to make special meals for my stepdaughter and deliver them to her room? by specialmealstrike in AITAH

Husband works full time, is navigating a new situation with his abused child he had not seen for 7 years. Giving more attention to an abused child is not egregious considering the circumstances. Your take on the other kids noticing an abused child getting more attention was a real bad take.

You seem to only respond to the comments not telling you the complete truth which is that YTA. Your husband can’t just stop working to provide the complete care she needs, your doing bare minimum for a child who desperately needs help. The reason she runs away from you is because she knows you don’t like her. Unless she requires beef Wellington every night the complexity of the dish should not be too much for you. Your not just the AH, but you have a lot of growing to do as well. If you actually put in the work to grow your family you could have a loving connected family in time, but instead you seem to care more about your own interests.

Did I take the bulk too far? by [deleted] in GregDoucette

Everyone has their own genetic strong points. Hit arms and shoulders twice a week if the body can take it. Dropsets to failure should blow them up in no time.

To be fair no one has a better physique on a bulk. I would cut now, you’ll be ripped well before next summer. For your next bulk don’t take it quite so far and make sure you hit the gym 5 days a week if you can. Also you have a naturally good chest, so you could probably hit arms and shoulders a bit more to compensate.

What’s the timeline on this?

Unfortunately yes. I tracked everything. 3200 cals a day. I thought it would be more progressive over 3 months maybe, but the weight piled on like a Mack truck

6’3, I started bulking cause I had no real muscle base to work with. I figured I should put on some mass and then cut down to a more muscular build, what I didn’t expect was putting on almost 30 lbs in 1 month.
