SCIENTISTS REVEAL
STRANGE ARCHEAN
ANIMALS FOUND AT NEW
'BURGESS SHALE' IN
ANTARCTICA
Mt. Thiel| A team of researchers from
Bourne University led by Professor
Frederick Allen have now recently classified
over 110 species, fossilized in the Bermel
"Burgess Shale" Escarpment some 3.5
billion years ago in Antarctica.
The 3.5 billion-year-old treasure was
discovered in Antarctica by a team of
paleoclimatologist last year and this led to
the team of researchers' visit to the
location for further analysis. The research
team discovered some incredible fossilized
'archeosaurs' about 20,000 in number
within the Bermel Escarpment.
"Even before the dinosaurs and trilobites,
and far ahead of the first recorded
organisms, the creatures of Yidath, the first
continent were the beginning ‘root’ animals
to evolve on that ancient world nearly four
billion years ago," remarked the
researchers. "These early monsters were
more advanced biologically than their more
distant descendants in the modern world
we see today -- they would often be much
larger and were more nightmarish in
stature."
The Bermel Escarpment find represents a
view of the startling evolution of land and
sea animals and explosive diversity that
came to rule the ancient world of Yidath for
some 500 million years before the
continent was destroyed. The discovery has
shaken the very foundations of science in
general, and realizing the importance of
occult references that like, some myths,
have some basis in fact.
Seemingly corroborating the theories of
19th Century Oxford Professor Jebidiah E.
Smith and his most famous work on the
subject, "A Commentary on the Book of
Gates (1868 First Edition)" we can briefly
see the recent discoveries detail the
wonder of the 'Archean Explosion" where
strange giant animals and plants appeared
with exoskeletons, arthropods, carnivorous
plants, worms, wings, as well as the
massive walking Titans, and the strange,
spiked armored worms Machaeridia.
Colemboarchios
Possibly the world's first truly amphibious insect, this
beetle like animal retained many of the characteristics
of modern Coleoptera but were able to live
underwater without rising for oxygen. Breathing
siphons with the opening surrounded by hydrofuge
hairs, allowed them to be either semi aquatic or
aquatic.
Gastrarcheos
These massive land slugs called gastropods from the
class Gastropodia were likely the fore ancestors of
modern slugs today. They could range from 90 to 100
feet in length, and contained large spines to protect
against Archean predators.
Aracharcios
Similar to Tarantulas of the family Theraphosidae,
these fearsome monsters were not only agile but
appear to contain venom sacs that could bring prey
down without any issue, with massive mandibles able
to hold prey until overcome. Very likely in this animal,
like bird spiders, ate other species of Yidathian life.
Fearsome, indeed.
Krakarchaios
Professor Jebidiah Smith, in his 'A Commentary on the
Book of Gates' (1868) First Edition mentioned these
creatures as the "Titans" who roved the landscape of
Yidath several hundred feet above. Scientists are
baffled by the remaining biological structures of these
fossils, as they reveal little of the physiology of the
creatures. They were named from the mythical
"Kraken" as the species died out on Yidath. This image
is from Jebidiah Smith's "Dioramas of Yidath" from
1869, London.
Panartharchaios
Strange animals with a biological structure unseen on
Earth, this species also became extinct after the
Yidathian continent fragmented and seem to be
unique to the landmass. Scientists believe the adult
creature, here accompanied by it's 'calf' was somehow
related to the tardigrade family of animals, which
include water bears and moss piglets. Their diet is
unknown as only a few specimens were found.
Bracharchios
Bracharchios was similar to decapod crustaceans from
the Arthropoda family, which had exterior hard shells
and which had large projecting front spines that could
turn and inflict injury as defense. They likely ranged
the coastal low area and like crabs were both present
on sea and land.
Tadarchios
Tadarchios was likely a toad like animal that, if
scientists estimates are correct, lived in either rainy or
desert climates much like many species of lizards do.
There are no clues that the animal was aquatic, but
it's short tadpole like tail and round 'larval' face may
provide the clues. The species measures some 20 to
30 feet in length.
Phasmarchios
An animal out of an evolutionary nightmare,
Phasmarchaios was related it is believed to the
Arthropod family, although no classification to modern
animals has been specified. Another species that died
out on Yidath, the animal has a thick exterior shell
and strong jaws that signified its predatory nature.
Hexarchaios
Archaeologists agree this animal. Hexarchaios, defies
all standards of classification but were plentiful on
Yidath as dozens of fossil specimens have been
uncovered. The six legs were barely able to support
the massive body in speed, so the lumbering animal
was easy prey to predators. Envisioned by Jebidiah
Smith's 'Dioramas of Yidath" that opened in London to
promote his theories on the Book of Gates in 1869,
we see "Men of Dloth" the first men, killing the
creature for protection or food. The thick skin was
able to protect from most attacks, and the maw would
terrify any victim.
Macharchaios
Marcharchaios may be the first of the Machaerida that
became extinct from the Early Ordovician (Late
Tremadoc) to Carboniferous. They are an extinct
group of armored, segmented annelid worms which
are known by the fossil records and are very rare.
This animal also had very short, powerful and
exaggerated legs which may have been able to propel
it during short but high speed attacks. Specimens
found measure some 80 to 100 feet in length, and
were heavily armored.
