Sometimes one slips through

Okay, I'm reading along all innocent and relaxed, and I come across this fossil in the story. A spiral trilobite. Ten million years old.

Clunk.

Guess the author, editor, and copy-editor all need a refresher course.

As the man said, "God is in the details."

The Dutch elms show up in a lot of places. I even ran across that one in a magazine that shall remain nameless. Professionals in the naturalist business, they should have known better.
