And now for Cascolus ravitis, which seems awfully Megacherian despite not currently considered to be one.

![A diagrammatic reconstruction of Cascolus ravitis.
C. ravitis from left lateral view.
C. ravitis from left lateral view with appendages removed.
C. ravitis from left dorsal view with appendages removed.
The specimen is about 9 mm long.
Shows left appendages 1-8, left lateral view and left appendages 2 and 3 from anterior view.
Text:
“There may be 2 more apodus segments which were obscured in the fossil.”
“The podomeres of appendage 2 are unknown, but are based here on observed flexures. There is at least 1 gnathobasic endive on the limb base.”
“The rest of the appendages are similar in morphology and proportion to [appendage 8].”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uq3244pq7pcdmxv3strm65ee/bafkreidgtuoynjiwqgxnsfsrpqpcd6wce6y2ww3gfytytvhkf5i3omqjhm)
@ultraluther.bsky.socialAnother diagrammatic and life reconstruction, this time for Cinerocaris magnifica, a Phyllocardid.
I should’ve added my Colymbosathon to this thread, so I’ll just link to it here: bsky.app/profile/ultr...
