  If 8 trilobites hang out together, would they make a trilobyte?

    No, they’ll be 1/128 kilotrilobites

    I think you would need 1,000,000,000,000

  The two best reasons to get into fossils are booping trilobites and getting to say the word “fossiliferous” a lot.

    Fossiliferous seems like something you’d hear when Bill and Ted become paleontologists.

      Nobody hinders me from using that word fossiliferously in office or at home or wherever

  I don’t get it? Who is telling him not to boop the trilobites? What’s wrong with booping the trilobite?

    Do not boop the trilobite

      Do not the trilobite.

  I misread the first panel as “pry open an animal” at first and was thinking, “that is NOT how you make a fossil!”
