Hi Ray,
wow you dug those old quotes up...
well I still stand by that. Refute or Accept.
Publish a refutation as to the availability or validity of a name or accept
it. I have no issue with that. Its what I have always done. To determine
that I would not use some of the W&W names we refuted them first, in
Iverson et al.2000. If its not refuted its used. The genera were either
used or sunk, they are in synonymy not unavailable. The only species names
we did not recognise did not meet the code. So I refuted them. I have not
had to do this with any of your names.
If you dont agree with the published refutation well demonstrate why,
refute their argument in a publication and science moves on.
This does not affect my arguments on all this at all.
Cheers, Scott

Dear Taxacomers:
We are on expedition in Pohnpei, conducting surveys of deep coral reefs.
We've been finding an unusual organism that is extremely abundant on the
sea floor at depths of about 80-95 meters (more or less). The collective
wisdom of our team (with primary expertise in fishes and gorgonians) has
come up with a best-guess taxonomic identification as "some kind of animal
-- or maybe algae?"
Photos and a brief description are available on the expedition blog:
http://blog.bishopmuseum.org/research/?p=294
(feel free to browse the rest of the blog as well!)
All suggestions are welcome! We return home tomorrow, and will have better
access to microscopes, etc. as of next week. If you know what it is, or
have any suggestions, please feel free to comment on the blog site itself,
reply to this taxacom post, or email me directly.

Otoliths (fish ear bones) colonized by algae (and other organisms)?
But then I'm a botanist and this might be a bad guess.

Hi Tony,
Yes, that seems to be the growing consensus (and in fairness, that was the
highest probability guess from our team as well).

MANY thanks to all who contributed suggestions to my inquiry on the mystery
flakes of the deep reefs of Pohnpei.
The growing consensus is that that they are Foraminifera, and specifically
something similar to Marginopora vertebralis (
https://www.google.com/search?q=Marginopora+vertebralis&tbm=isch).
I definitely appreciate all of the suggestions. We're fairly sure they're
not fish scales, and they are crispy hard (like potato chips), and don't
seem to be algae.
If anyone can pinpoint something more plausible than Marginopora
vertebralis, We'd certainly like to hear about it!
Aloha,
Rich
