A New Mexican miscellany, offering eclectic linkage since 1999.

SF New Mexican:

Waste Isolation Pilot Plant: Salt crystals hold 253 million-year-old cellulose. “We did see some ancient DNA in the salt, but not a lot, and we have to continue experiments to try to verify that it is ancient DNA.” Great storyline for a sci-fi thriller ... dig a mine to store nuclear waste ... while digging, ancient DNA-bearing cellulose is exposed ... ancient alien bacteria replicate ... giant blob grows ... devours Carlsbad ... Roswell ... Steve McQueen ...

Oops.  Now I remember.
