Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I just mentioned on some interview that the next great find would be the live ammonite. Kind-of knocked the wind out of the reporter!

Phil, I just enlarged a portion of your photo. It is quite obvious there has been pixel replacement. Your hoax will not work. 
especially with the shell of a Jurassic ammonoid, Late Cretaceous maybe, but not Jurassic.

New Archie Pixes
Hi All,
This is my first post here. What a cool website. Really cool that you have a world renowned marine bioligist that regularly contributes with his real name. I found the site by doing a search on O'shea yesterday when the new pixes of an Archie was released to the press.
My thoughts on the video are "so what?" They hooked a giant squid and got a few shots of it struggeling to get off the hooked jig. I don't really see how that is much of any scientific value.
I think that Steve's approach is much more sensible. Try to trap a live one and raise it in captivity. Don't give up Steve, you will make those other guys look like amateurs when you succeed.

My reaction:
First looks: Hm...someone screwed it up with a thumb or somthing...
Second look: *morning coffee on the table*
Third look: Oh ye God and Garlic Dumplings! Phil sure did it this time...
Upon closer inspection: Obvious hoax, but still great for messing with my biology teacher's brain though.
