verify growth rates for the this species of lichen in this environment. It

be interesting to know whether frucitose lichen Ramalina maciformis

it's still in good shape.
Or did you already have it with pasta?

Great specimen! Is this a first shown on List with the growth of a lichen?

cut for the type specimen repository. It would be shame if it were cut
significantly reducing its cultural value. This is a rare case where I wouldn't

Hi ,
Last year in Tuscon a friend found a 200 gram NWA chondrite that was
used for a grinding tool. It was on the bottom of the bucket. Both
sides were flat showing chondrules where it was used to
grind.

It’s interesting that you mention it Elton. We actually looked into that.
Although the meteorite shows zero visible oxidation, its quite possible the fall
event dates back more than two decades. In case no short living cosmogenic
radionuclides, 22Na in particular, can be detected, our idea was to
I found it interesting that both samples had the lichen growing on
them. Just wondering, Svend, how common the growths were on
surrounding stones or if perhaps they favoured growing on the Eucrite
because of certain minerals contained within compared to other stones
in the area.

It looks a lot more like a cupstone or a discoidal than a hammerstone.
Doesn't look anything like an anvil. An anvil would have a flat surface. A
hammerstone generally wouldn't have a depression in its middle. We have a

It includes a collection of pictures taken by astronaut Douglas H. Wheelock
on his recent trip to space. Thanks to Astronaut Wheelock for generously
sharing these pictures of our planet from this amazing point of view.
I'm no expert, but I concur with Phil. It does like the discoidal
shown in the link.
Either way, it's a super find. Congrats to Philippe. :)

Very impressive indeed. I just went through my inventory of Neolithic
tools (collected legally) and all of mine are made from basalt. Darn.
I wish my 70 pound matate was an OC Really cool find. Phil,you are
correct this is a discoidal.
