| Discovery Notes | Location - 1951 Corvette St, Las Vegas, NV 89142 Date - 09/03/2024 Time - 6:40 am Soil Type - Loamy, Silty, & Clay Soil Description - The soil was slightly moist, although it had not been watered for several months. It was from a dead flower bed with a lining holding the soil, possibly contributing to its water retention. The soil had no distinguishing odor other than earthy. Because the soil was from a flower bed, higher amounts of fertilizer were present, as the white pellets spread throughout the soil. Temperature - 80 Degrees Fahrenheit Humidity: 34% Longitude and Latitude: 36.15003, -115.06082 Depth: 6-7in (15.25-17.8cm) |
