Meet A. Strummeri, The Punk Rock Snail

A. strummeri is a newly discovered species of deep sea snail named after the late, great  Joe Strummer of the British punk rock band The Clash. The golf ball-sized snails rock out near hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the ocean, as deep as 11,500 feet. Shannon Johnson, a researcher at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute explains that these snails "have purple blood and live in an extreme environment" like punk rockers in the 70s and 80s.

Do you think this spiky bit of yellow matter looks like Joe Strummer?
