Pacific Newt (roadkill)
Found dead on Alma Bridge Rd.

*** 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.

Marked with a dot of purple nail polish for the purpose of being able to follow the carcass over time to study how it decomposes.
