Tim Burton may be in France for the Cannes Film Festival, but I bet he probably haven't been honoured like this... as a species of seaweed is named after him.
Student researchers in Canada named the species, which was discovered in British Columbia three years ago, after the acclaimed director, after it reflect the artistic style. The university which discovered the seaweed, contacted the agent of Tim Burton about the discovery, but no answer.
The real name of the seaweed species is "Euthora timburtonii"
