Return to Opabinia Island

I already did an Opabinia post in 2010, but it came up in a Deviantart conversation and I took some better pictures.  Opabinia is a bizarre fossil invertebrate with five eyes from the Burgess Shale.

This is my second Opabinia.  It's 11 inches long.  I made it some time between 2004 and 2006.




This is my first Opabinia.  It was one of my earliest clay pieces.  The snout broke off and I glued it back on.
