The Amateur Paleontologist Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 That's rather cool Congrats to both of them, it's quite an honour to have a genus named after you. Didn't Obama also have a fossil lizard named after him? Something like Obamadon, right? Thanks for informing us 'bout this! Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q. Where do dinosaurs study? A. At Khaan Academy!...

He also has a Hawaiian fish named after him, it was found in an underwater sanctuary created by him. Ever since I was very small (my mother says 2 years old) I’ve watched Attenboroughs documentaries. They will always hold a special place in my heart. Thanks for sharing! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
