Matter Subscriber Price:

    Meet Pikaia gracilens, the humble wormlike swimmer from the Cambrian seas (~505 million years ago) that may just be one of your oldest relatives.

    At about 5 cm long, it didn’t look like much—just a slender, ribbon-bodied creature wriggling through the Burgess Shale ecosystem. But Pikaia had something revolutionary: a notochord, the flexible rod that would eventually evolve into a backbone. That makes this little swimmer a crucial early chapter in vertebrate history—an ancestor that set the stage for everything from goldfish to giraffes (and, yes, humans).

    This hard enamel pin captures its simple but historic form in polished metal and enamel—no time machine or shale slab required.

    Specs:

    • Premium metal base with polished hard enamel fill
    • Secure clasp so your Pikaia doesn’t “wriggle off”
    • Size: 43 x 23mm
    • Zero chance of evolving into something that steals your snacks

    Perfect for Cambrian-life nerds, evolutionary biology fans, and anyone who wants to wear their deep ancestry with pride.

    WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY

    You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.

    We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.

    With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.

    Believe in yourself; for everything else, there's science.
