The Ordovician What?

I do love the Cambrian Explosion but this is just as spectacular. I checked the link to the original publication but it only leads to an abstract so this article is better.

It would appear that this is the full original paper - the DOI redirects you to the Nature page.

Yes, that's what I went to but it only had an abstract and a list of authors etc. Hmmm.

Great stuff, not a very catchy name.

Gobe McGobeface it isn't.

I just like saying “Ordovician” whenever I can get away with it.

Annalee Lewitz has a lot of good articles on that site. She also has a catchy face (see her picture at the bottom of each article).

I played a ton of multiplayer Halo and Call of Duty under the player name 'Ordovician'.
