| Discovery Notes | Soil was collected on 08/19/2025 at approximately 6:00-6:30 pm at Pilot Knoll Park, with the approximate coordinates of (33.1061993, -97.0705071). The temperature was approximately 91°F with little to no cloud coverage. Soil was collected at first with a biodegradable plastic spoon, then with a steel pocket knife, then with a nail filer of a multipurpose pocket tool. The excavation site left behind a circular hole, measuring ~3 1/8 inches in circumference and ~1 inch deep. Soil was then scooped by the biodegradable plastic spoon into a plastic bag. About 1/6 of the bag was filled before dropping the spoon into the bag. Soil was very dry and consisted of mainly clay and gravel, with minimal organic material. |
| Naming Notes | Ditters was named after the classical violin player Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf, where many of his concertos were transposed into double bass concertos. |
