Trilobite calcite eyes
[edit]In the 'Overview' section it says that Trilobites have lenses made from calcite. This is outdated, as it has been discovered that the calcite found in Trilobite fossils originates from fossilization processes and not the animal itself. See the 'Evolution of the eye'-article. Original source: Lindgren, J., Nilsson, DE., Sjövall, P. et al. 2019. Fossil insect eyes shed light on trilobite optics and the arthropod pigment screen. Nature 573, 122–125 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1473-z 2001:4CA0:0:F295:CD1A:99B3:D98E:552D (talk) 10:09, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- I came here to type up the exact same thing. ~2026-10541-63 (talk) 01:56, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
"Evolution" section image
[edit]The image immediately inside the section labelled evolution is labelled as being the evolution of the mollusc eye. Which doesn't seem right to me, both because there are many molluscs with very different eyes, and also implying the liniarity of evolution, and also, mollusc eyes don't tend to look like that. and also primarily because when you click the link directly above the image leading to the main article for "evolution of the eye" the exact same image is the first thing on the page, and there it's marked "Major stages in the evolution of the eye in vertebrates" which is a different thing. Molluscs are not vertebrates, and vertebrates didn't evolve eyes identically to molluscs so i don't see how it can be both. So i think this image is mislabelled? 2A00:23C7:2C8A:6C01:1411:F7CF:355:1A24 (talk) 00:56, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
- I have removed the word "mollusc" from the caption, the image's documentation does not specify who the eye belongs to. - Adolphus79 (talk) 02:13, 21 July 2025 (UTC)
