Discovery NotesRaised Land bridge next to salt water with a bike bath in the center. Soil mixed with a few rock and approximately 10 ft above the level of the sea. I digged down approximately 4 inches before collecting my soil sample. The dirt had barely any vegetation, some normal grass and some tall grasses.
Naming NotesCasimir in latin means "someone who destroys an opponents glory during battle" and this phage has destroyed me during battle with isolation and web platting protocols

I thought of the name originally because of an orange dinosaur named Casimir on a french television show not to mention there is also a beautiful song called Casimir Pulaski Day.

For all of those reasons, I named my phage Casimir.
