11 - evil olive
So, what is left unanswered?
France's Windy City.
Germany's writer of Westerns.
A palindromic wicked fruit.
An extreme Nobelist.
The discoverer of Cobalt.
Another palindromic answer.
Italian lowlifes.
These are not hard.
Still unsolved:
2, 3, 5, 10, 11, 13, 14.
Mollusque: yes, and yes. Well done!
1 - gammadion
12 - updike
Yea! anadromous it is!
Then: 6 - anadromous.
Mollusque: span and bounty are correct! actinopterygian is not incorrect, but there is another, more specific, adjective I had in mind. (Hint - fresh/salt water)
6 - actinopterygian
7 - span
15 - bounty
16. Orchard Place Airport/Douglas Field, and later Orchard Field. I got the clue right away, but had to look up the exact earlier name.
13 is not blue. (magnesium is not black)
Aaah - I couldn't remember which prion went where.
4 - Panjandrum?
13 - blue?
Trivet: yea on 8 and 9, though I think Creuzfeldt-Jacob disease is typically genetic in origin, so that although its natural progression may be very similar to kuru, transmission through cannibalism is not really an issue with CJD.
ooooh!
8 - intaglio?
9 - kuru/cjd
16 - tara
How about anagrammatic fruit (lemon and melon)? But, hint taken.
Hmm. What would be a palindromic phrase for a wicked fruit?
Nudge, nudge.
