| Discovery Notes | The soil was a light brown color, like that of wet sand or clay. It was not very moist but condensation still formed in the bag. Grass grew over the soil that was shaded by a tree. the hole was approximately 1 inch deep when the soil was collected. The weather was sunny and 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
