Kalmia Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Although I am not a rabid fan of Johnny Depp, I do like his acting. When I saw that someone had honored him by naming an ancient creature after him, I immediately wondered what the Deppettes in The Hive would think. The creature may have scissorhands, but it certainly isn't as cute as its namesake! http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/05/130516063842.htm#.UZuZkl-z-tk.twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom in High Heels Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 That is awesome and hilarious. I'll have to ask my beloved how he feels about it being named after him the next time we're together. :001_tt1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 hey, it is a great move. There are new fossil creatures named every day and none make the news. My father has at least one extinct creature named after him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaillardia Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I personally was very happy about the naming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So one of his former PhD students named a fossil after him. I found some pictures of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
