Opabinia, of the Opabin Pass

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Stephen Curro discuss Opabinia, a freakish alien bugger that looks like it stepped straight out of a Doctor Who set. From the Mid Cambrian, this 3-inch stem arthropod had a digestive system in the shape of a U, which as a recovering bulimic, I can relate. Is that too dark of a joke? Eh, who cares, I don’t get paid enough to write these descriptions.
