Mayomyzon pieckoensis is an extinct species of lamprey that lived during the Late Carboniferous period, about 300 million years ago. It is the only known species of the genus Mayomyzon, which belongs to the family Mayomyzontidae. It is known from the Mazon Creek fossil beds located in present-day Illinois.[1]

Description

The fossil of M. pieckoensis is preserved as a carbon film in a concretion, which shows the outline of its body and some internal structures. The specimen is about 10 cm long and has a circular mouth with teeth, a single nostril, seven pairs of gill openings, and a dorsal fin that extends to the tail. The fossil also reveals that M. pieckoensis had pigmented eyes, which are rare among fossil vertebrates and suggest that it had some degree of vision.[1][2]

M. pieckoensis is considered to be one of the most basal lampreys, as it shares some features with the jawed vertebrates, such as the presence of a notochord and a cartilaginous skeleton. It also differs from modern lampreys in having fewer gill openings, larger eyes, and more teeth.[1][2]

Quantum Zeno effect

Quantum measurement phenomenon With the increasing number of measurements the wave function tends to stay in its initial form. In the animation, a free time evolution of a wave function, depicted on the left, is in the central part interrupted by occasional position measurements that localize the wave function in one of nine sectors. On the right, a series of very frequent measurements leads to the quantum Zeno effect. The quantum Zeno effect (also known as the Turing paradox) is a feature of...
