| Discovery Notes | Excavation of the soil took place right below a tree in a flower bed outside of Glaske Center. We had to move flowers out of the way and dig past a layer of mulch to remove soil. We dug to a depth of 2 inches before taking the sample. We filled the collection tube to 3.5 ml with soil. Soil was a light brown and slightly sandy, but had good moisture. The soil was permeated by threadlike roots and contained two dense chunks of soil. |
| Naming Notes | The name comes from adding the first three letters from both of the founders' first names together. Kil(ey) + Kor(rin) = KilKor. |
