Sir David Attenborough is erotice iphone wallpaperaccruing quite a substantial collection of things named after him. This week our favourite documentarian was the inspiration for the name of a 430 million year old fossil.
And there's an an abundance of other species and objects, including a boat, that carry the Attenborough name.

Cascolus ravitis is the name of the 430 million year old fossil of a one centimeter long crustacean that was found preserved in volcanic rock. The first name of the new species is the Latin translation for Attenborough.
"The biggest compliment that a biologist or palaeontologist can pay to another one is to name a fossil in his honour and I take this as a very great compliment." Attenborough said in response.
Electrotettix attenboroughiis an extinct species of pygmy grasshopper that was found preserved in amber.
Materpiscis attenboroughi was a fossilized fish found in Western Australia that was preserved with an unborn embryo. The discovery makes the materpiscisthe oldest known vertebrate to give birth to live young.
A rare Amazonian butterfly was named Euptychia attenboroughi after Sir David Attenborough in honor of his affinity for the beautiful insects. Attenborough has been an outspoken advocate for butterfly conservation.
Nepenthes attenboroughiior Attenborough's pitcher plant is a carnivorous plant. It was found on the summit of Mount Victoria in the Philippines.

Sirdavidia solannona was discovered off a mountain road in Gabon's botanically rich Crystal Mountains National Park. It was named in honor of Sir David Attenborough who had a major impact on the lives of the scientists who discovered it.
The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) decided to allow the public to weigh in on the naming of a polar research vessel. They did not anticipate the public would choose the name Boaty McBoatface. Despite the poll results, the council decided it would opt for a more prestigious title and named the ship RRS Sir David Attenborough.
As a consolation to the public, the NERC dubbed an exploratory auto-submarine Boaty McBoatface. Boaty will soon embark on her first Antarctic mission.
There's not many people who could pip Boaty McBoatface to the post without provoking the ire of the public.
Hats of to you Sir David!
