Discovery NotesSoil sample originated from rather disgusting pool of standing water near a blocked up storm drain.

Water was murky brown and smelled like city waste.

Weather was sunny, ambient temperature was a balmy 22 centigrade, sample temperature was a "you're not going to stick the thermometer into that".

Was not pleasant to retrieve.
Naming NotesNamed after a rather infamous tradition of its discoverer's institution.
