Unbelievable Trilobite Hyper Compound Eye

[@klikklakis]

I can not recall the exact video, but I do recall there being examples of wood being fossilised by lightening strikes that chemically changes the compounds making up the wood fibres. It seems that the electrical charge changed the hydrocarbons in the wood into silicates among other molecular changes. This could explain the almost instantaneous fossilisation process.

[@bmxion]

I remember seeing that too... somewhere.

[@calebhollen5316]

In the the thunderbolts project videos, an example of electrical fossilization occurred in Canada when a high tension line fell on fallen trees. The trees turned into fossils

[@critical-thought]

When someone discovers evidence that does not fit the current narrative, they are ridiculed and driven out of the field of study. Yeah, that is such a scientific response.

[@johnmark7777]

Every scientific field is mainly filled with midwits who are entirely invested in whatever narrative or model assures them of status, position, prestige, and credibility. Any challenge to that, especially by outsiders, is met with distrust, anger, and discreditation - marginalization. It is always discouraging to see how little the search for truth above all else matters to so many.

[@Deepskies268]

Quite often contradicting findings are integrated into an existing narrative as "anomalies" or "paradoxes" or in medicine as "syndromes" or more recently as "asymptomatic". This is then presented as scientific progress as well as confirmation that science always and profoundly uses the empirical method. When actually it abuses it and just turns dogmatic shit into pseudo-complex giant shit.

[@angelojones4330]

No, it's a human response. The greatness of the scientific method is that has provisions for the "ad auctoritate" but yeah, as it happens mediocre people often get into position of power over brilliant people (usually young and without established credentials) thanks to their experience and diligence.

[@papalazzzaru]

Peter Mungo Jupp has suggested that fossilisation, vitrification and concretisation may happen almost instantly when a powerful enough electrical discharge occurs into water containing sufficient quantities of certain minerals etc. Given that the SAFIRE project showed that transmutation of elements does seem to occur in an electrical environment it makes sense to me that a powerful enough discharge would cause a fundamental molecular change in everything that is in the water, solidifying it and its contents. Almost like a mini Z-pinch... 😀

[@Air-Striegler]

EU rising! 💪🏽

[@KittyBoom360]

But that petrification theory wasn't about soft tissue surviving the cooking heat of an electric discharge! Something more complicated is needed here.

[@codetech5598]

@@KittyBoom360 _"cooking heat of an electric discharge!"_ Not if the elements in the tissue instantly transmute which is what seems to happen in the case of the really big discharges.

[@papalazzzaru]

@@KittyBoom360 If the process is virtually instantaneous there would be no time for cooking before the molecular structure changes. Perhaps that would account for it.

[@KittyBoom360]

But wouldn't it then be common to find fossils with petrified soft tissue? Why do we only tend to find just the bones or exoskeletons?

[@jonveitch2394]

Transmutation of the elements by electrification. The water these creatures lived in turned into calcium carbonate and the creatures tissues transmutated into elements depending on how many protons and neutrons were left behind after an electric discharge event.

Boy I am dying to know why the compound eyes

[@greggstrasser5791]

So they can see eachother.

[@daemonnice]

I assume by compound eye, we are talking of something akin to a fly's eye. Such an eye I suspect may be designed to detect movement from an attacker from a much wider range of perspective at the same time. @3:22 the location of the eyes suggest its only blind spot would be straight down from above as this can see in front, from both sides and behind. Being a bottom dweller it doesn't need to see below. This suggests to me its main defense from predators was quick movement.

[@marcv2648]

This was excellent. Although I did have my hopes up that you would have an absolute answer at the end.

[@jooky87]

The earth was smaller when these trilobites were around that’s why their fossils are all found on land.

[@greggstrasser5791]

Earth? Expanding? Shirley, you can’t be serious.

[@benreece7640]

Fossils are formed by lightning, and high energy discharge. It's a quick process, thus the fine detail preservation. These mud dwellers are ideal candidates for a shallow water transformation from a lightning strike.

[@sultros]

Permineralization can take place in as little as a few hours to a few days. It’s important to note a few things. Cellular level preservation of soft tissue is extremely rare and almost exclusively found in shale. It should be noted too that when looking at the percentage of thoroughly surveyed areas is quite low. Unfortunately there isn’t much interest or funds available for such research and it’s difficult and costly work and often takes place in known areas. Its thanks to the cooperation of amateur fossil hunters and scientists that new locations and specimens are found. Statistically speaking, the low percentage of geographic area, combined with a small sample of specimens collected, creates a rather large space for error.

[@patricktilton5377]

In other words, the better preserved a fossil is, the quicker it died due to having been catastrophically immersed in whatever substance that helped preserve its soft tissues. Creatures that die and are covered over gradually lack such soft tissue remnants when they fossilize. Makes sense to me.

[@omnificent15]

My appreciation💕

[@johnfurey936]

It’s been suggested since, that the majority of trilobites that got fossilised were buried by underwater land slides and that’s just one way of getting killed and buried instantly!

[@patldennis]

the compound eye of a trilobite isn't a soft tissue. Most trilobite fossils are shed exoskeleton, so you're just looking at the outer cuticle of the eye.

[@johncampbell9216]

Every part of animate an organism is made from a combination of elements. these elements do not degrade with fossilization but remain exactly where they were at the time of petrifaction, so it stands to reason that these elements would be discernible with the right technologies. Since the x-rays can differentiate between the elements, we’re going to see that which the unaided eye cannot and do so without damaging the specimen. In addition, iron oxide aggressively absorbs oxygen, which would aid preservation. A brilliant piece of science!

[@tesconpol2721]

The "trout" depicted is a carp, but, apart from that, this is fascinating.

[@KittyBoom360]

Wouldn't electric petrification cook and also destroy soft tissue though? And why don't any other petrified creatures come with soft tissue? It's suspect we would only find "soft tissue" fossilized in creatures with hard exoskeletons, as in maybe it wasn't so soft after all? I think some experiments with carcasses is in order.

I have no answers but see one pattern over and over. Time is the anomaly or flaw in all these otherwise fine theories.

[@Northern5tar]

And since we're always confined to our own time/space, we have no reference point. We can't measure time. If time would speed up or slow down, so would our clocks, and we wouldn't notice a thing. It's like running inside a train and measuring the speed. "I'm moving at 5 mph". No you aren't. You might be going 85 mph, or even 205 mph. No way to measure. We look at fossils and say this was 400 million years ago. How would we know? It's only true if the train stayed the same speed. Then relatively speaking we can date from our pov. We can never step outside the train and really measure the speed. We're confined to our cabin. And that's really only the beginning. As in reality there isn't such a neat separation between our space/time (cabin) and true time (train). If we use the same analogy the train could suddenly make an emergency stop. Or suddenly pour on speed. We'd notice but what would we make of it? An earthquake perhaps? True time does effect our reality. But again, would we recognize it for what it is?
