hello, @adrg1 @helena_wiklund @LupitaBribiesc1 do you know what is this? :D samples from RC01 boxcore (stained)

[CH Chuar @ch_chuar]

@LupitaBribiesc1 @adrg1 @helena_wiklund Oh! Is it possible that they're the operculum of gastropod?

Congrats to my colleagues Chee Kong and Samantha for their paper on new tanaid species described based on material collected from the CCFZ (AB02)!

@lqchoo But we do get pelagic copepods from our samples! Might be contaminant? 🤣

[CH Chuar @ch_chuar]

⁦@lqchoo⁩ , is this a pteropod?

[CH Chuar @ch_chuar]

Probably contaminant from shallower water haha

[CH Chuar @ch_chuar]

@lqchoo yes, from the abyssal benthic sediment😃

Just a reminder on #wormwednesday that a worm is not just a worm. This form crops up again and again throughout the animals.
