Good photograph Nikola. I tried to ID the lichen but nothing I have on record comes close to what you have here. Maybe a much closer photograph to show more detail would help, anyway a very good photo

Sorry Ken, I have not more detaild photograph.Ken Ramos wrote:... Maybe a much closer photograph to show more detail would help, anyway a very good photo
It could be Orange lichen. See ---> URL. But which one???
Totally confused!
My vote goes to Caloplaca marina or Xanthoria parietina???
???
I bet 95% on Caloplaca marina. Xanthoria 0%
Ha! I found it, "Caloplaca inconspecta," in other words a "Seaside Firedot Lichen."

Some people thinks we already found it! See this controversy.Beetleman wrote:Very interesting lifeform Nikola. I was always hoping that the rovers would find something like this on Mars.
