    Where was it found and do you know the age of the rock?
    It's at 39.084523, -113.715651W.  if that shows up in China, it's Google maps' fautl.  Just change the sign.  The age is from a geologic map for that part of Utah that doesn't have good resolution.  I'me pretty
    familiar with limestone from other locations, and the age is right at
    the Ediacaran-Cambrian interface.  It's the most easily accessible site imaginable.  You can drive to it.

    it is actually pretty fustrating. How hard is it to put an image on the internet

    we've been doing this now since the early 1990s. It doesn't require
    Java, cryptography or google or anything other than a uri to the image.

    No - my links are pretty much forever. That idrive garbage is the
    problem. I can not see that. I am sorry for taking this out on you but
    I am sick of bullshit. My newyears resolution is to put down crap and
    you don't need idrive to post an image that they tracks you and does survaliance.

    Just post the darn picture. It is just a jpg

    Worked fine for me.

    Andy Knoll got back to me about the supposed Namacalathus;  they're
    actually just Archaeocyathids.  Oh well, my son already told me they
    looked like that.  Unremarkable, as they're quite common.

    that is on the public internet
