New swamp fossil named after Mick Jagger

Rocker Sir Mick Jagger has become a fossil again.

Scientists Ellen Miller and Gregg Gunnell have published a study about an extinct swamp creature they found in the Egyptian desert in this month's Journal of Paleontology.

They have called the animal Jaggermeryx naida after the ageing rocker.

Gunnell states the creature's mouth structure, which he described as "a highly innervated muzzle with mobile and tactile lips", reminded the pair of Jagger's famous pouty lips.

It's not the only fossil to be named after the Brown Sugar hitmaker - there's the Aegrotocatellus jaggeri trilobite, a group of extinct marine animals, discovered in 1995.
