An Introduction to Zoology - Friday, 1st Period
Cutter’s date with Connor to the museum and been very … inspiring to say the least and it had given him at least one topic to cover in his class. He had actually been working on his lesson notes all week because there was so much to cover in this particular topic that he was considering that maybe expanding it to two lectures wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Rex was sleeping in Connor’s jacket on Cutter’s desk, he hadn’t been able to pry Rex from the jacket since it was still a little cold for him but decided to let him keep sleeping.
“You might remember this little guy from class last semester?” Cutter said with a fond smile while he gave Rex a gentle chin scritch as he slept, “this is Rex, he’s from the Permian period and the reason I brought him in today for class is to highlight just how prevalent the Cambrian Explosion was,”
Cutter had been a bit distracted by Rex so had decided to hand out notes notes before class started so that they were already on the students desk when they arrived.
“I did briefly talk about the Cambrian Explosion last week but I feel that it is such an important topic when talking about Evolution that it deserves a topic on its own, well really I could do an entire course on the Cambrian alone but that’s a topic for another time,” Cutter explained, “now the reason I brought Rex in specifically for today is that he was around at the same time as some of the creatures that were a result of the Cambrian Explosion, namely Trilobites - Trilobites are especially important to understanding our concept of Evolution and they were arthropods, marine animals and we know this because of the type of rocks they were found in.
“Trilobites first appeared in the Cambrian Period and became prevalent during the Cambrian and Ordovician Seas, they went extinct at the end of the Permian Period,”
At this moment, Rex began to wake up, letting out a sleepy yawn and perked right up when he saw Cutter and started chirping rather excitedly. Cutter gave him more scritches as he continued the lecture.
“There was no life on Earth at this point in the early Cambrian period,” he went on, “so life was contained to the seas, particularly in the ocean shallows … no life inhabited the ocean depths as well so that is what makes this explosion of life particularly fascinating, that they were able to form here and diversify in these regions,”
Rex continued to chirp happily and then at that point he took off and happily began flying around the room, it was a good thing both the door and windows were locked.
“I would like you to do a report on the Trilobites for next week and in particular I would like you to focus on their development and the role they played in early aquatic ecosystems,”
