Welcome back to #TrilobiteTuesday
Here is Asaphus lepidurus from the Middle Ordovician rocks of St. Petersburg, Russia. Trilobites from these limestones have a beautiful caramel colored shell and are preserved three-dimensionally!

When Van Velden says the employment law change has nothing to do with the Uber drivers case, can a journo spell out:
