Keynote Speaker & one of the founders of Serpent Mound Star Knowledge Spring Equinox Peace Summit "Star Ancestors"
Tom Johnson conducts workshops On the Serpent Mound Impact Crater, Many Universities use this service and he has taken hundreds of students and teachers into the crater over the years. He Studies the diverse geology, magnetics, faults, and minerals on the tour.
Recent work airs on the History Channel, Ancient Aliens segment on Serpent Mound and adjoining meteor crater Season 3 Episode 1
Tom Johnson, owner of The House of Phacops, began researching the Isotelus Trilobite, Official State Fossil of Ohio, in 1985. The largest known example of the State fossil is on exhibit at his shop. Built on the foundation of a tannery that operated in Locust Grove around 1850, the building is clad with Ordovician flat rock quarried in Adams County. The Ordovician seabed, dating back 438 million years, attracted Johnson to Adams County because the ancient seabed contains the finest known examples of the Isotelus Trilobite.
Collected a lot around Sylvania, Ohio in an old 350 million year old sea bed 90 feet under ground through the 60's and 70's until the government stopped that activity with MSHA and OSHA 1979, He then moved to southern Ohio and began collecting an even older sea bed of 438 million. Many trips around the planet to collect and study fossils dating back to 2,7 billion years, recognized for his achievements in 1984 by the Smithsonian and National Geographic, he has written 3 books and lectured on the subject of trilobites.
THOMAS JOHNSON THUNDER ROCK OF THE STARS ROSWELL NEW MEXICO CONNECTION
As a Young man Thomas Johnsonand His family would Travel from Detroit to Roswell New Mexico at least once a year Thomas Johnson's Uncle Art Brosius would take him and Aunt Eva to the Bottomless Lakes,Ruidoso Cloud Croft, White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, Leadville Colorado, Karnie Nebraska and many other places to fish or explore.The late Arthur Brosius, a Provost Sergeant with the 340th Military Police Escort Corps, was involved in getting the base operational, starting September 5, 1942. A interviewed Mr. Brosius about 25 years ago. Probably the definitive source on the history of the New Mexico camps Some 19 companies of guards were brought in to escort the prisoners in and out of camp. Brosius was at the camp the entire time it was in operation; he later was a WELL KNOWN SECURITY CHIEF at New Mexico Military Institute for many years And Yes during the Roswell crash.
Thomas Johnson Thunder Rock was later drafted and was Stationed at Fort Bliss El Paso, Air Defense Command as a fire control operator, they would do military exercises at McGregor range, White Sands as well as many places he went with uncle Art as a boy.
He then settled in Ohio, One year in the 80's Thomas was contacted by the Reagan administration to work on Star Wars because of his knowledge on the Phacops A trilobites ostensibly possessed a unique and highly advanced visual system. The eyes of vertebrates and human eyes have organic lenses using muscles to alter lens curvature and thus focal length. Though we have no knowledge of the soft-tissue components of the trilobite’s visual systems, we do know that the lenses of the eyes of living trilobites were unique, being comprised of inorganic calcite, or as Levi-Setti (1995) calls them, "Crystal Eyes". There is no other known occurrence of calcite eyes in the fossil record. This composition has also enabled the trilobite eyes to survive as exquisite fossils dating back to the earliest Cambrian. The earliest trilobite eyes were, like modern arthropods, compound eyes, comprised of repeating units, called ommatidia, each of which functioned as a separate visual receptor. If trilobite eyes were like modern arthropods, each ommatidium had a lens (the front surface of which makes up a single facet); a transparent crystalline cone; and light-sensitive visual cells. Each ommatidium was pointed at just a single area in space and contributed information only about that space. Typically, thousands of ommatidia in a compound eye are spread over most of a hemisphere, the composite of all responses of which is a mosaic image of dots, with more dots giving higher resolution of the image Needless to say he did not answer their call.
