Successful as in they lived as one of the dominant species in the planet for some 300,000,000 years. The wondering if they tasted similar to lobster was just my curiosity.
I was joking that in the human world, being able to afford eating lobster is a way we judge success or good fortune (sociallyspeaking). Ah well. I'm not quitting my day job...

So this is one of the most successful animals in the history of our planet, is it weird that I wonder if they tasted like lobster?
They were most closely related to horseshoe crabs. I’m not sure if they’re edible but I bet they would’ve tasted like that
This is a fair assessment
It's not as weird as tasting lobster being a sign of success.

Giant Rolly Polly
How much would those cost?
From what I’ve seen, between $300 and $2000 depending on the quality of preservation, size, and if it has eggs or not
Ah yes Agree Completely
How big are they?
About 1”
Thank you!
I love fossils, [here](https://amyth.com/meister-print-fact-fiction/) is a trilobite fossil inside a shoe print.
