This afternoon (1-5 PM) was dedicated to just working on cataloging species. Yes, 4 hours of classifying dead sharks reeking of alcohol. It was fun until you started feeling the effects of the strong stench of alcohol in the room. I have to admit that I got a little light-headed after a few hours.
We classified a lot more than 3 specimens today! We classified I think 16 today. Yeah, be amazed. We were flying through those things. And we still have around 40 to go...
Cownosed ray
Sharpnose sevengill shark
Atalantic sharpnose shark
Sandbar shark
Atlantic guitarfish
Atlantic stingray
Scalloped hammerhead shark
Bancroft's numbfish
Chain catshark
Finetooth shark
Spiny dogfish
Spinner shark
Southern stingray
Silky shark
Tiger shark (smallest tiger shark I've ever seen; it was so cute)
Gulper shark
Phew, that was a doozy. Those were the specimens from today! I hope you get a kick out of them! Many, many more to come.
