| Discovery Notes | The soil sample was collected approximately at 3 pm. The location had the GPS coordinates of 40.4439 latitude, -79.9532 longitude. The weather for the past few days has been cold (near or about 30 degrees Fahrenheit on average) with light snow. The temperature at the time was 34 degrees Fahrenheit with cold wind chills. The site was a nearby tree that had little sprouts of plant stems popping out of the soil. Soil was taken about an inch into the ground where the roots of the plant could be felt but not disturbed. The soil was dark brown to near black in color and had a crumbly consistency. It was dry and had traces of wood chips and small pebbles in it. Sample was placed in a refrigerator overnight. |
| Naming Notes | The name "Malika" means "queen" in Arabic. My mother suggested the name and it seemed fitting for a creature that took six tries to find. She surely deserves the title of queen. |
