| Physical Description: | Ink drawing of two legged figure with claw-like appendages and needle projections rising up from the head. |
| Description: | Six extinct plant and animal species are named after the late Washington resident Wes Wehr. Wehr was a Renaissance man: a composer and gifted musician, an accomplished writer and painter and a collector of agates, crystals and petrified wood. Wehr's miniature landscapes caught the attention of the Northwest art world in the 1960s. As affiliate curator of paleo botany at the University of Washington's Burke Museum, Wehr helped develop North America's most productive source of plant fossils in Republic, Washington, home to a 50-million-year-old lake bed known as Stonerose. In 2003, Wehr won the Paleontological Society's Strimple Award, which recognizes outstanding achievement in paleontology by non-professionals. |
