| Discovery Notes | Soil was collected by Brenden Van Der Werff near a stream by a cattle lot. |
| Naming Notes | Two plaque morphologies led to attempts to separate the two. Originally, one (clear) was named Somnus and the other (cloudy) Thanatus. |

| Annotation Status | Not sequenced |
| Plaque Notes | Large plaques of two morphologies. One was clear with rather sharp edges. The second was large but with rough, cloudy edges. These were thought to be two separate viruses but ultimately, Hae II and Hae III restriction digest of DNA indicated that there was a single virus. Interestingly, picking clear plaques produces nearly 100% clear plaques. While picking cloudy plaques yields both clear and cloudy plaques. |
