Observation Date / Time

Pacific Newt (roadkill)
Found dead on Alma Bridge Rd. between Limekiln and Priest Rock Trailheads.

This might be T. granulosa due to the dark pigmentation under the eye and the eyes don't bulge outside the contours of the head.

***Decomposition Rate Study***
These observations show the decomposition of a newt over time. This will give us a sense of how fast the bodies decompose so that duplicate entries aren't added to the main project and the count is more accurate.

Notice the hands crossed over the chest and the split tail.
