Seaweed? I think we covered that with kelp so I don't think it should count? Grin

Are they fossilised only (Y) or living in the Hallocene (N)?

Vignoble · 01/01/2025 23:35

Clue probably needed....

Wouldn't fossilised be mineral?

Ooh is that an AVM grey area? What would an ammonite be then?

It is a “seaweed”. I won’t count that.

It is not extinct, Vignoble.

It has 2 common names, you probably have something in your home that is made from it. One of it’s names is a misnomer.

The answer might help name it though.

One of its names is a misnomer.

Is the misnomer a vegetable or animal name (yes) or no?

Miepmiep · 01/01/2025 23:50

Some ammonite fossils have the mother of pearl layer preserved so I guess it could be both animal and mineral.

Loofah ignored 😂

Miepmiep · 01/01/2025 23:55

It’s misnomer is a plant name that suggests it isn’t an algae.

Not a question Grin

Miepmiep · 02/01/2025 00:01

Hmm I'm wondering if you were dead on here and it might be sea cabbage. Just leaving that there

Yes! Irish moss or carogeenan moss or carrogeen. It’s used in all kinds of foods and beauty products and medicines.

MrsTerryPratchett · 02/01/2025 00:17

HOORAY!

MrsTerryPratchett · 02/01/2025 00:17

I didn't think we were going to get it before bedtime!

Miepmiep · 02/01/2025 00:19

Me too! My last clue would have been I’m just about to spray some up my nose before I head to bed to fend off a cold 😂
