According to the Santa Cruz Sentinel, a snail has been named after Joe Strummer. The snail is called A. strummeri. Shannon Johnson, a researcher at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, explained “Because they look like punk rockers in the 70s and 80s and they have purple blood and live in such an extreme environment, we decided to name one new species after a punk rock icon.â€
