| Discovery Notes | Coming out of the back of the Apodaca science building, there is a section of soil with bushes and plants. beside the farthest bush between the bush and the concrete I picked my soil. It was full of bugs, worms, etc. |
| Naming Notes | I decided on this name because this phage is very small and doesn't show up well to the naked eye. But its strong, similar to the Doedicurus, a prehistoric animal that existed in the Mesozoic Era that was small (for that time) and mighty. |
