Biography
- Early years - contributed to A Field Guide to Edible Theropods at the age of seven after surviving five weeks alone in the late Cretaceous era (within a half-million years of the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) extinction event. He would later write about this experience in the song "Asteroids Belt".
- Formed his first band of paleontologist-musicians, "Frondo Ediacar and his Mighty Mighty Rangeomorphs" at the age of fourteen.

- Breakthrough and fame ... the Avalon Explosion album.
- Accusations of genetically engineering dinosaur-musicians in violation of musician's union contract, and subsequent retirement from the music-paleontology business.
- Release of controversial single "You Made Your Mistaken Point" — Virgin Records subsequently revokes its contract with Frondo Ediacar Research Associates, a heavy financial and emotional blow for [REDACTED]
