These interesting biospheres in a coffee cup are often found in
surprising places around the site. While this is not technically a fossil
it is of great scientific interest. This fine example contains numerous
examples of the fascinating flora and fauna that appear in an abandoned
cup of coffee, particular a "double double" as prepared by Mr. Juby.
As you can see we have representatives from all kingdoms and numerous phyla
- Zygomycota, Mandibulata, Bryozoa, Mollusca, Diatoms, Cyanobacteria, Craniata,
Hepatophyta, Crustacea etc. The robust liverwort is a particularly fine
sample of that species.
