My marrella Monday drawing. Trying to get the shape more. I need lots of work. The antennules are way off back spiniforms need to be more S shaped

Almost done my notes on Simonetta then I’ll move on to Whittington. Currently interesting bit is the decision he made with the epipodite. Simonetta didn’t believe Marrella had any.

Simonetta provided the best older Marrella analysis. Look at the detail. This is in his 1962 analysis of the Walcott batch. He’s not happy that Walcott exaggerated 🤣 he’s not Achilles Guenee level rude yet
