Haha! The guy who named that knew what he was doing. By the looks of it, these things really knew how to party. The males essentially had two knobs, and check out those O-faces.

To be honest, I'm not sure how a person looks at that fossil and determines the footy bits to be genitals, so I think men with sunglasses in silly crustacean suits is about as likely as anything else.

yeah it must be partly instinctual, if you look at more primitive animals who don't have culture they generally work it out, so you can only assume human culture is surplus to requirements

Not the origin of actual sexual intercourse, but perhaps the origin of the act of sex as we know it, where animals target their jizz instead of just squirting it everywhere.

Fortunately he seems to be eternally "in training", so I am safe for now!
Good to see paleontology in the news but I think it's being a bit misrepresented in most stories. Definitely the oldest evidence (so far) of vertebrate sexual intercourse, though
For more bizarre prehistoric sexual organs, look up the "ironing board sharks"

Oh my gosh you're Richie Ball? I've seen you floating about google plus and always wondered who you were but thought it would come across as rude to ask at the time.

I told my shrink the other day that his aquarium looked sad with only one fish left. He told me he was sold some sick fish, and that they then sold him some medicine that didn't work.
"You're nicer about it than my last patient. She started to cry and asked me if I was eating them".
I think it was to reassure me I'm saveable material.
