Looks like my first fish caught in the Anamas river in Farmington NM back om 1956.

It was a sucker. (carp)

Wonder if they’ll find another fossil to name after Keith since he has always looked like a living fossil.

Some of those Brits from the 60s started rapidly ageing in their 20s. Mick and Keith haven’t shown their true age because they have always looked, shall we say, more mature and wrinkled. When they reach their 90s, they will still look the same. At least he didn’t try to pull a Michael Jackson on his fans. :)

I’m sure Mick will accept the honour graciously.

So, they’re introducing pop culture figures into paleontological naming conventions based upon speculation regarding soft tissue features that may or may not have actually existed?

Who knows, maybe they’ll discover a creature speculated to be androgynous, of low intelligence with a very prolonged adolescence that died out due to failure to reproduce, and name it Bieberopteryx.

I’ve caught catfish in the San Juan River farther west in the 80’s.
