Welcome to Devonian Devotee, my paleontology blog!

Hi, Welcome to my blog! I'm B. Shale, a high school student hell bent on becoming a paleontologist. I will be posting on here about recent discoveries in the world of paleontology, as well as pictures of some of my favorite cambrian, ordivician, silurian, and devonian creatures, including a few photos of fossils from my own collection! If you are new to Eperic sea life, then you are in for a prehistoric treat! My hope is that this blog will help take you back half a billion years ago, back before dinosaurs ruled the world. Instead, animals like the ordivician Eurypterid (my personal favorite), the cambrian trilobite, and the devonian ruffled coiled nautiloid propelled themselves through the waters (which covered almost the entire planet). It's the most non-boring history there is!
