The evolutionary origins of trombone
obviously this makes no sense evolutionarily, they must have been created by mermaids to make various instruments out of their shells.
I don't see anything impractical about the one that's just an ordinary ammonite but with spikes.
The Mariella one also looks fairly normal, looks like a number of aquatic snail species
Yeah but it was novel at the time
These are some weird regional Omanytes.
doot.
Just some hard shell noodle bois dooting the best they can

I read hetrimorph ammonite time in “peanut butter jelly time” tune.
It's crazy to think about how long it took to get more than one-cell life!
Has anyone got some conclusive theories on the functional morphology of this?
This was the "fuck around" era of evolution and being wacky was cool
In my history of life class I was tought it was to do with controlling buoyancy, although all the variation seems odd for that.
Maybe a combination of controlling buoyancy with species identification?
