Ordovician? Portugal, along with Morocco were in antarctic waters then. Like now, Arthropods in polar waters grow to giant size, like those found at Ouled Slimane, Morocco. Here is an eleven inch long Dikelokephalina from there.

German's know what's up. It is sad that America's MSM swept this under the rug. Our major News sources are not to be trusted any longer.

Thank you all who think the canoe I am building is beautiful. It is a work of passion for me and I want to give my spouse a unique boat.
Here is a solo boat of mine. 14.5 feet, 36 lbs. asymmetric in every dimension, getting the tuck in right was not easy for me.

I hope you do that. Most of my projects take about 9 months. On most, I started with raw boards, stripped them out, then gave them a bead and cove, then I mapped out and cut my own forms. Here is my last one; a hybrid marine plywood hull and cedar strip deck, 17..5 feet and weighing 38 lbs..
