ATTENTION All applicants to this group: The group is moderated, and application must be accompanied by an email to the moderator explaining your interest in trilobites. A brief, but compelling message is required. This is something SPAM robots and troublemakers seem to have trouble with, but no true trilobite enthusiast would find it difficult. Failure to provide an explanatory message = no approval for membership. Pure and simple.
