A recent manuscript published in The Archives of Microbiology documents the discovery of a hyperthermophilic archaeon in Yellowstone National Park. It is proposed that this archaeon be named in honor of professor Everett L. Shock who pioneered the integrated geochemical and microbiological investigation into Yellowstone National Park hot springs.
