Wish I could edit comments. Apparently links do work. Oh well. I also wish WordPress would always display which tags are allowed by the post box. I tried to underline all the titles and that one does get stripped for certain.

I don’t think I can link it properly here, as my last comment had the HTML stripped out.

Obviously the time frames are vastly different and there is not likely a connection, but I think it would me amazingly cool if Paleodictyon turned out to be a third cousin twice removed to us that was more closely related to a proton powered rock than anything else alive today.

The IMAX movie Volcanoes of the Deep Sea has been on NatGeo twice recently and is worth mentioning because it is ostensibly about the hunt for Paleodictyon even if they do seem to get fairly distracted by the chimneys and other life around them at times. I guess you can’t really justify making a hole IMAX about a few holes in the sea floor.
