micahqDescription
Always love finding these fish. I have an interest in their otoliths (attach otoliths not from this fish but the last one I found). If you find these let me know! More pristine photos posted with permission of Maya Midmore. The specimen was 185cm long, female, it had remains of Gadus sp and Osmerid in its stomach. Lots of parasites, mostly nematodes in the stomach wall and some species of Platyhelminthes living in the internal compartment of the body. I have added a photo of the otoliths and can add some more dissection photos such as what it had eaten.

Very thin soil over exposed granite. Leaves 2-3mm, Costa 50-75um wide at base. Not entirely convinced by the basal marginal cells, but the basal juxtacostal cells and the costa seem good for microcarp.

Well-decayed wood embedded in soil of small island in estuary. >:( I want to call it a non-gemmiferous denudatum but I guesssss it could be sphagni? Not convinced though. Laminal cells and habit seem more on the sphagni-end, but the dorsal leaf-free strip is generally quite narrow.

Photos dumped here for now, hoping to get Microlichens book to key. I have a glob in my desk.
Really satisfying to section but spores hard to find.
Spores simple, decently large and not common. Not sure how many per ascus. Hymenium dark brown.
