Stockings were usually black for daytime wear and white or colored for evening. They were held up by garters. By the end of the century, the garters were attached to the corset. Cotton drawers went over the stockings.
Cephalopods include squid, octopus, cuttlefish, nautilus, spirula, and the extinct ammonites and belemnites. Cephalopods first appear in the fossil record nearly 500 million ago during the Ordovician Period. They are all mollusks, members of the same Phylum Mollusca as oysters, conches, and the common garden snail.
Some of these trace fossils are as wide as four inches. Perhaps these animals did not actually breathe air, and only slimed along on land for short periods as a way of moving from pond to pond. According to scientific consensus, the first verified land animal was a one-centimeter myriapod. Present-day examples of myriapods include millipedes and centipedes. This myriapod, discovered in 2003 in Scotland and named Pneumodesmus newmani, is dated to 428 million years ago.
