No, they'll be 1/128 kilotrilobites
I think you would need 1,000,000,000,000
Wouldn't that make teratrilobite?
Hover text:
The two best reasons to get into fossils are booping trilobites and getting to say the word "fossiliferous" a lot.
Fossiliferous seems like something you'd hear when Bill and Ted become paleontologists.
Nobody hinders me from using that word fossiliferously in office or at home or wherever
I don't get it. Who is telling him not to boop the trilobites? What's wrong with booping the trilobite?
Do not boop the trilobite
Do not the trilobite.

Boop
I misread the first panel as "pry open an animal" at first and was thinking, "that is NOT how you make a fossil!"
