(4) K-3 Patkau pairs an extinct animal with a contemporary one (e.g., the mollusk cameroceras and the blue-ringed octopus), drawing intriguing parallels between species ranging from reptiles to arachnids. In general the author avoids unfounded assertions, though she does imply strong similarities, if not ancestry, without documentation or further explanation. The accompanying brightly colored digital art verges on gaudy. Timeline. Glos.
