Being a visual and verbal chronologue of my peculiar life, foremost my research interests—death and the anatomical body—and travels and people I've met in pursuit of same; my collecting interests—fossils, postmortem photographs, weird news, and new acquisitions to my “museum”; and (reluctantly) my health, having been diagnosed with MS in 1990.

Chris,
ReplyDeleteRon Fine's Mystery Fossil code named "Godzillus" is not the algae Lepidolites dickhautii. My web page on Xfossils.com describing my find of this particular algae was written before Ron found his Godzillus fossil. According to Dr. David Meyer, the Univ of Cinti paleontologist studying and housing the "Godzillus" fossil, "I do not think the "Godzillus" fossil is Lepidolites.....I do think it was produced by a microbial mat along with deformation due to some movement by flow along the bottom or slumping. The mat is the primary feature that trapped fine sediment that came in as an event like a storm or sediment flow."
Thanks for your interest in "Godzillus" and my find of Lepidolites algae. See http://drydredgers.org/godzillus.htm for details.
