Phylogenetic Tree Pendant - Biology Jewelry

This pendant is inspired by the phylogenetic tree drawn by Jillian Banfield's group at UC Berkeley (A new view of the tree of life, Nature Microbiology 1:16048 (2016)). A starburst style phylogenetic tree, it incorporates newly sequenced prokaryotic DNA from some unusual sources, including a salt crust from the Atacama Desert of Chile, a CO2-rich geyser system, and dolphin mouths. Resembling a bird, one tailfeather of the diagram represents the eukaryotes (you, your dog and the fungus on your bread) and all of the rest of the bird represents prokaryotes.

The pendant is 3 cm (1.2  in) long and the bail for the chain is hidden behind the pendant.
