The Quaternary (or Anthropocene, if you like) element of the mélange here is a USB flash drive belonging to Dan Phelps, who provided the photograph. But what is the Ordovician element? If you think you know the answer, write it on a postcard or on the flyleaf of a copy of Maynard Shipley’s The War on Modern Science (1927), and mail it to NCSE, 1904 Franklin Street, Suite 600, Oakland CA 94612-2922. Or just leave a comment below, unless you’re Dan Phelps. In any case, write big!
