Is there any consensus as to the internal organs/stuff which maybe doesn’t fossilize well? Like, did they just evolve a bitchin’ chassis but they’re constantly tinkering with the internal bits?
Fossilisation has a bit more to do with deposition conditions than the creature itself. It’s why we know next to nothing about jungle dinosaurs and ones around mountains. Most of our knowledge comes from marine and wetland dinos.

Triops: tiny freshwater horseshoe crab looking guys. You can buy their eggs for cheap online and raise and breed your own. Easier and cheaper than SeaMonkeys.

You may not like it, but this is what peak evolution looks like.
