| Discovery Notes | The site where the sample was collect was near a pond. There was trees around the pond and other plants, but the sample was collected closest to where the water was. The sample was collected on 1/31/23 at 2:31 PM. |
| Naming Notes | This name came from my partner and I talking about what similar foods we like. We both like spicy foods which is where the spiced part came from and we both really like ice cream (our favorite kind of dessert) which is where the ice came from. We also liked how they were opposites in the same word, leading us to go with the name SpicedIce. |
