| Discovery Notes | Found by dumpster near apartment complex - compact soil that is consistently dry and in the shade |
| Naming Notes | The name of this plaque originally came from a combination of my first and last name, however, the morphology of this plaque has an irregular edge, similar to a paint splatter, or goop, something that would make you exclaim GACK! |
