Discovery NotesThe soil was moist in the spot where I found it. The area was mostly shaded by trees. The air temperature at the time was 67 degrees Fahrenheit. It was collected at a depth of about 7.5 cm. The soil itself was collected by unearthing a brick from a brick footpath and scraping dirt from the side of where the brick was. The dirt was also directly underneath grass. The brick was replaced after usage.
Naming NotesThe name originates from the fact that it was found underneath a brick. The name giver is a fan of minimalism.
