The history of birthstones is ancient, varied, and, as all such things from ancient days, has changed much over the course of time.

How does collecting insects affect the population of a certain species? Will you still collect a species that is endangered? Do you think it is morally just to take the life of something that is alive and wanting their life just for the sake of research or hobby? I am not challenging you, I am genuinely curious if you are willing to answer. Thank you! Brittany

Is the purpose of the “trident” still “a mystery?” Wouldn’t the most likely purpose be sticking the trident out of the sand whilst the rest of the body is buried in the seabed; thus absorbing nutrients(and light, if necessary) without exposing one’s self to larger Trilobite predators? Potentially even blending in with kelp, sea grass—or rather—the ancient equivalents thereof. Thanks!
