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

    Hover text:

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