Life Metheuselahs

5-bit | 6-bit | 7-bit | 8-bit | 9-bit | 10-bit

Since metheuselahs do not repeat, they are listed under the smallest known pattern which evolves along the same sequence. Where there are more than one of these, the most common is shown. Also, the syntheses are of various patterns along this sequence, not necessarily the first generation.
