The sample was obtained around 2:15 pm in the Avery outer courtyard beyond the gates on Tuesday May 28, 2019. We simply taped down the sample as it was on the larger side, so falling off the slide was an issue. Underneath the Foldscope, we can see the minor wear and tear along the edge of the spike as well as gashes on the flat end of it. A potential suspect for the cause of this would be insects. #caltechbi1
