***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 total count is more accurate.
This one is unusual in that the first 2 pictures look more aged than the last two, when in actuality the reverse is true. It's because of the rain.
