[00:01:45] I honestly don't think we have ever sampled that sponge species before so thank you very much. [00:02:21] fantastic, happy to help Chris! thank you for the guidance [00:03:11] LAT : 28.878854 , LON : -177.869188 , DEPTH : 2050.2309 m, TEMP : 1.84263 C, SAL : 34.61769 PSU, DO : 2.79817 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [00:03:59] Thanks to the pilots for a great job collecting it! [00:05:16] Tretopleura sp, not the same thing as you sampled [00:05:51] Munidopsis sp is the white squat [00:07:21] how many of these Munidopsis (no associated with corals) have we collected from this area? [00:08:11] LAT : 28.878885 , LON : -177.869195 , DEPTH : 2050.4284 m, TEMP : 1.84442 C, SAL : 34.61598 PSU, DO : 2.87089 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0549 FTU [00:09:37] I don't think we sampled very many at all during Capstone. [00:10:09] not a good place to try and sample with this current [00:10:14] I think this is munidopsis albatrossae. Its known for the long rostrum. https://www.soest.hawaii.edu/DARC/PMNM/guideimages_php/Galatheoidea_009.php?category=Galatheoidea [00:11:06] Yea, I was going to say that many of the munidopsis in the guide have names because they are fairly distinctive just from video [00:11:47] Probably Tromikosoma hispidum for the urchin [00:13:12] LAT : 28.878923 , LON : -177.869066 , DEPTH : 2047.272 m, TEMP : 1.82632 C, SAL : 34.6178 PSU, DO : 2.82045 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0672 FTU [00:13:23] Shucks guys, its again my night to make dinner. Sorry but I have to sign off. By the way can you zoom this sponge? [00:13:42] I think it is Lefroyella sp [00:13:51] thanks for sticking with us chris [00:13:56] Just looking, not collecting. [00:14:00] gotcha [00:14:01] was about to ask [00:14:39] see you Chris! [00:14:47] I'm looking for commensal anemones can they zoom more [00:15:10] yes, they are [00:15:14] Yep, you can see the aemones [00:15:24] Lefroyella sp for sure [00:15:51] Yes, good thanks [00:16:10] Have a great rest of dive! [00:16:48] christopherkelley leaves the room [00:17:57] Sara I emailed you an urchin with boots [00:18:13] LAT : 28.878986 , LON : -177.869047 , DEPTH : 2047.8141 m, TEMP : 1.8308 C, SAL : 34.61814 PSU, DO : 2.84731 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [00:18:17] beautiful shot!

[00:23:33] can steve [00:23:42] wow [00:23:56] crusty hydrothermal chimney maybe? I don't know yet. Any chance the pilots could hop into the water column to see the top of it? [00:24:13] Hemicorallium high density [00:24:37] I've seen big honkin hydrothermal chimneys before, but not this old and I'm not sure if they can survive this long [00:25:18] and Narella on the wall [00:25:24] If this is a dike standing on its own, that's pretty remarkable [00:25:35] yeah im fucking wierded out by that [00:25:38] like what [00:25:42] me too [00:25:43] .... or is it a chimney? [00:25:46] what the fuck [00:25:52] sorry this is archived isn't it. apology for swearing [00:25:53] I don't know. Need to see more of it [00:25:56] lol [00:26:31] can we take it with us? [00:26:35] lol [00:26:47] Hippasteria [00:27:50] 2044m is bottom of rock, will see depth at top [00:27:58] Yeah, Chris will definitely like this [00:28:10] Asako too!

[00:29:04] In the right spot the Hemis can be extremely dense and large [00:29:16] camera 2 view is bonkers [00:29:29] holy moly!!! [00:29:32] I've seldom seen vertical hemicorallium reefs though [00:30:13] Val, you are right! [00:30:15] There are burrowing polychaetes that are parasites of the coral. [00:30:36] i need a bigger computer screen [00:30:41] Calyptorophora/Paracalyptrphora? [00:31:01] Gorgoniapolynoe caeciliae is the genus and species that is often associated with Hemicorallium [00:31:04] dike [00:31:19] that's columnar jointing [00:31:28] why is it still standing [00:31:31] lindasunderland leaves the room [00:31:47] this is intrusive rock so there was once rock around this [00:31:53] oh my gosh [00:31:57] TOTALLY WEIRD [00:32:02] I LOVE IT [00:32:56] we see stuff like this on land, but this is the first time I've seen a vertical dike do this on the seafloor [00:33:05] new favorite rock [00:33:15] LAT : 28.879222 , LON : -177.868961 , DEPTH : 2035.9701 m, TEMP : 1.83558 C, SAL : 34.61777 PSU, DO : 2.83389 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [00:33:28] I want to know its story [00:33:39] me too can we befriend this rock?? [00:34:10] something makes it resistant enough to stay intact when everything else around it . . . didn't. [00:34:44] And it's crusty-looking enough that it's been like this for a long time [00:35:03] what the heck were the other rocks made of [00:35:21] As a geochemist, I'll be able to tell you that, lol [00:35:29] yay i cant wait!!! [00:35:33] Well, maybe not since they're elsewhere [00:36:30] samcuellar leaves the room [00:36:31] I guess it's rock o'clock (but not the sampling kind) [00:36:35] both geologists and biologists are happy with this rock [00:36:42] i wish it were rock oclock - the sampling kind [00:36:46] Asako, yes! Great rock [00:36:51] :-) [00:37:18] zoom? [00:37:27] I couldnt see the polyps well [00:37:30] What's the orientation of this dike? [00:37:46] But my sense is probably Paralcayptrophjopra [00:37:50] zoom please [00:38:12] wonder whether it's aligned with the rift we just came up [00:38:17] LAT : 28.879243 , LON : -177.868946 , DEPTH : 2035.1823 m, TEMP : 1.82632 C, SAL : 34.61817 PSU, DO : 2.87609 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [00:38:18] val the dike runs due north [00:38:23] well sorta [00:38:26] Thanks! [00:38:28] we are facing due north about now [00:38:36] so more like northeast southwest [00:38:38] sorry [00:39:02] Roughly aligns with the big linear structure that goes through the summit then [00:39:06] cool [00:39:13] ooooo [00:39:57] strap it up and take it home. [00:40:01] georgematsumoto leaves the room [00:40:08] it's about 15m from top to bottom on this side Val [00:40:13] Sam, yes plz, haha. This is spectacular [00:40:31] in terms of linear height [00:40:40] Wow! Thanks, Sara. That's a big outcrop [00:40:58] esriously [00:41:09] That suggests Calyptrophora [00:41:23] Calyptrophora [00:41:36] thank you for the zoom!! [00:42:05] The basal sclerite "spiny" is usually sticking out in the genus when the polyps are contracted [00:43:16] LAT : 28.879182 , LON : -177.869013 , DEPTH : 2035.3699 m, TEMP : 1.80726 C, SAL : 34.62066 PSU, DO : 2.92041 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [00:43:27] one branch just broken off to the left [00:43:48] floated to the left, I mean [00:44:33] Shiny manganese crusts! I actually have an answer that came from some USGS colleagues [00:44:43] WAIT REALLY [00:44:56] They can be polished to a shine by the current [00:45:00] Which is higher around here [00:45:02] val rock from bottom? may be some loose here but not sure if helpful [00:45:05] WHAT [00:45:15] lindasunderland leaves the room [00:45:23] Sure, a rock from here could be interesting [00:46:44] ok we can probably get some from the lee. not sure if it will be same composition as the rock that weathered away, but maybe a clue? [00:46:52] will do that after we see the top [00:47:14] we can see large bushy colony [00:48:16] LAT : 28.879176 , LON : -177.868922 , DEPTH : 2031.6461 m, TEMP : 1.83433 C, SAL : 34.61769 PSU, DO : 2.86151 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0549 FTU [00:48:24] just copying here 035 strike of dike [00:48:46] thanks! Yes, that aligns with the big linear feature running through the summit region [00:48:51] Very interesting [00:49:03] It's one of my favorite uses of an ROV!

[00:55:38] christophermah leaves the room [00:58:05] wow. those Hippasteria are more common here [00:58:17] LAT : 28.879238 , LON : -177.868976 , DEPTH : 2033.4165 m, TEMP : 1.84 C, SAL : 34.61713 PSU, DO : 2.79708 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [01:01:25] christophermah leaves the room [01:02:00] Steve we have 3 niskins left [01:02:17] Val we are eyeing the large rock at the base of the dike [01:02:22] waiting on tether [01:02:50] nvm we are going for it now!

[01:03:44] ah yeah, poke never hurts [01:04:22] Well, sometimes the seamounts don't give up their rocks. We try our best [01:04:35] too big [01:04:37] yeah [01:05:07] good plan [01:05:23] christophermah leaves the room [01:05:33] I swear that boulder was a large cobble five minutes ago [01:06:06] that's what we said! [01:06:39] unfavorable grain size distribution for geochemistry here [01:07:39] If we do see a good rock before end of dive, one last grab would be great if possible. But this was totally awesome [01:08:17] LAT : 28.87945 , LON : -177.869031 , DEPTH : 2032.0972 m, TEMP : 1.85613 C, SAL : 34.61432 PSU, DO : 2.80238 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0549 FTU [01:08:30] Who planned this track?

If there are any burrowing polychaetes I would recommend leaving them in the coral so they don't break apart [01:13:31] ROVs are so versatile.

The seamount morphology is closer to what I would expect for Hawaiian (hypothesized), but the rocks are crusty enough that I'm not confident on approximate age [20:01:07] man, vid isn't happy today [20:01:49] so sorry about the video... internet unhappy today [20:01:55] we're working on it but not sure how it will be [20:01:59] No apologies needed!

[20:03:47] There will be something around here [20:03:55] maybe dead center? [20:03:57] christophermah leaves the room [20:04:36] going for center [20:04:48] Val, I suggested this site because of the terrace we are just below. It seemed to be too deep for a relatively small Hawaiian seamount. Also, I don't see similar terraces on the two sister seamounts to the east. Finally, the depth of the terrace is consistent with other Cretacious guyot summit depths around here.

I try to use FeMn crust thickness as a proxy, but that's not really reliable. Rocks can be exposed tends of millions of years after they were emplaced, and I'm not even sure how constant the crustal growth rates are. The absolute dating methods are key, along with the "flavor" of mantle that melted to form these [20:08:44] Yeah, Kira Mizell and Amy Gartman are the folks to ask about FeMn [20:09:57] Well, hopefully they will be able to pry a rock free so we can find out for sure.

Probably a new famility that needs to be defined [20:45:42] LAT : 28.780003 , LON : -179.126837 , DEPTH : 1445.5323 m, TEMP : 2.61465 C, SAL : 34.52021 PSU, DO : 1.55246 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0672 FTU [20:46:11] THe initial description by Operesko & Wagner didn't include DNA assignment [20:46:14] under the sponge looks like a soft coral [20:46:30] Anthomastus or Heteropolypus? [20:47:14] thallasometrid crinoid I think. Prehensile cirri [20:47:19] yes. near one another [20:48:00] feather star [20:48:05] no worries. happy to see the enthuriasm about poop! [20:48:23] huh. what are those arms doin? [20:48:42] possibly feeding behavior? [20:49:00] looks like it's feeding, potentially trying to snatch what we think might be an amphipod that is flitting around [20:49:05] I didn't know that latest info on the black coral. Very interesting. [20:49:06] suction is probably better [20:49:57] Its also unknown how the black coral anchors. [20:50:01] christophermah leaves the room [20:50:12] i would be surprised if the crinoid targeted a specific prey, they have no vision [20:50:24] Both should come apart together in chunks. I don't think the coral is very strongly tied in [20:50:31] samcuellar leaves the room [20:50:41] LAT : 28.780014 , LON : -179.126841 , DEPTH : 1444.8708 m, TEMP : 2.61666 C, SAL : 34.51623 PSU, DO : 1.52698 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [20:51:11] Jeremy Horowitz would love the entire sponge/black coral [20:51:19] needs to see how they are connected. [20:52:16] sarakahanamoku leaves the room [20:54:00] is video/audio out of sync for other people? [20:54:45] Thanks [20:55:36] very nice! it came off so easily it would appear that the coral is attached to the sponge and not to the rock [20:55:41] LAT : 28.780011 , LON : -179.126787 , DEPTH : 1444.8831 m, TEMP : 2.60863 C, SAL : 34.51697 PSU, DO : 1.54846 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [20:55:58] christophermah leaves the room [20:56:02] and now it is clear that the red are baby Paragorgia and not anthomastus [20:56:22] oooo! nice ophs! [20:56:26] Yes george, not seeing an attachment point here - will check for stalk on sponge upon recovery if we happened to capture that portion of the sponge [20:56:34] fantastic incidental collection of crinoid, thanks for the great grab pilots! [20:56:36] That attachment note is important [20:57:15] Will try to image steve! and will note in sample comments. [20:57:27] @chris if you ever see the benthic ophs that you need collected let us know and we can slurp them [20:57:46] trishalbano leaves the room [20:57:57] video stopped for me for a while.but now back [20:58:00] thanks! I am wondering if we will see any Astrophiura [20:58:11] the little star like brittle star [20:58:31] will keep an eye out!! [20:58:48] and thank you for the helpful imagery along with genus name! [20:58:53] fyi.. not all comatulids can swim. it depends [20:58:59] Oo really! [21:00:08] these are Astrophiura https://x.com/echinoblog/status/909880503418974208 [21:00:37] https://x.com/echinoblog/status/963779991187132416 [21:00:42] LAT : 28.780093 , LON : -179.12691 , DEPTH : 1440.8111 m, TEMP : 2.66314 C, SAL : 34.51165 PSU, DO : 1.47115 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [21:01:23] Thank. you chris!!! [21:01:31] actually, staring at the little red things that were under the collected sponge, they are baby anthomastus. sorry to be so wishy washy [21:03:43] stevenauscavitch leaves the room [21:03:54] more Ophiocamax [21:04:54] trishalbano leaves the room [21:05:35] in the Gulf of Mexico after the oil spill they found that the Asteroschema actually cleaned their corals and improved survivorship following the oil [21:05:37] georgematsumoto leaves the room [21:05:43] LAT : 28.780123 , LON : -179.126712 , DEPTH : 1443.8162 m, TEMP : 2.65589 C, SAL : 34.51398 PSU, DO : 1.5151 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0549 FTU [21:06:21] zoom on the bottom [21:06:24] rock [21:06:59] sorry missed that [21:07:11] no worries. didn't see it until we lifted off [21:07:27] Val, this looks like carbonate [21:07:43] could be [21:08:01] looks pretty crusty too [21:08:44] yea, that rock might be very important [21:08:55] Yeah, it looks crusty... i'm getting karst vibe but not confident, .rock sample here? [21:08:58] I'm still on the fence what the provenance of this seamount is. Not gonna overthink it! If that rock from earlier is a good basalt, we can try argon-argon and see whether that gives up some secrets [21:09:03] christophermah leaves the room [21:09:31] ah I see! sorry misunderstood your comment chris k [21:10:24] Sara, how many rocks have you collected so far? Sorry, I was watching the Nautilus webinar for a while and didn't see if you collected a second one [21:10:43] LAT : 28.780381 , LON : -179.126819 , DEPTH : 1438.1725 m, TEMP : 2.64545 C, SAL : 34.5142 PSU, DO : 1.52215 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0549 FTU [21:10:46] If this is carbonate . . . I missed the transition. It was still pretty pillowy not that long ago [21:11:25] Chris, just one rock so far. We could probably pick one up here if there's a loose one. Can't do much for my work with carbonate, but geologic context and stratigraphic changes are important [21:11:55] If it is carbonate, I think we just passed the transition. It was all very crusty but at one point it looked like there could be a mix of basalt and carbonate [21:11:57] christophermah leaves the room [21:12:30] Gotcha, Chris. My attention is a little divided again today. Too many things going on [21:12:51] sorry all, yep - can confirm only one rock so far [21:13:11] val, would you want rock collection here or save it? [21:13:24] and chris [21:13:46] I don't know. What do you think Val? We could wait a bit. [21:13:51] Well, if we're into carbonate, chances of another basalt are slim. Chris, you thinking collection here? [21:13:53] we can also wait till further up if the features we see stay consistent [21:13:56] could trace it down w video [21:14:07] Let's go a bit further up [21:14:11] Anna subbing in for Brian for first lunch shift [21:14:16] Okay. Works for me too [21:15:06] Now this looks pillowy again [21:15:11] oh wow1 [21:15:13] star? [21:15:17] On the other hand, lots of potential collectibles here [21:15:30] multi-armed [21:15:36] Agree, Chris. Maybe we do want a rock from this talus, but it would need to be clearly a pillow fragment [21:15:38] Tretopleura sp [21:15:44] LAT : 28.78039 , LON : -179.126896 , DEPTH : 1436.7192 m, TEMP : 2.64592 C, SAL : 34.51368 PSU, DO : 1.4814 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [21:15:58] Chrysogorgia sp [21:16:07] Angular or wedge shape best, with radial jointing visible [21:16:29] Narella sp as well [21:16:45] samcuellar leaves the room [21:17:00] Pretty good uneducated guess! [21:17:03] pl close up the upper right white colony [21:17:20] asako can you guide me to upper colony? [21:17:31] fine branching one [21:18:02] Sara, behind large sponge [21:18:30] most soft one [21:18:44] now at the center [21:19:09] white one [21:19:14] Sara, before we move on from here, after footage is collected, could we look at the talus below this pillow? Some potential for rock collection here [21:19:19] upper [21:19:47] yes absolutely val [21:19:51] Chrysogorgia [21:19:53] Asako, this one? [21:19:54] thank you [21:20:12] I think there are some Narella alata here or some other species of Narella. Good to get a close up [21:20:13] yes, thank you Sara [21:20:32] chris k can you point me to potential narella? i though we'd had one earlier but not sure [21:20:36] Awesome, thanks! I'm on the lookout for a wedgy fragment with radial joints. That'll be the best bet for some lava under that crust [21:20:40] we tried to zoom on it but was unable [21:20:44] Will do when they zoom out [21:20:46] LAT : 28.780382 , LON : -179.126905 , DEPTH : 1436.8658 m, TEMP : 2.64468 C, SAL : 34.51424 PSU, DO : 1.508 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0672 FTU [21:20:50] White to upper right [21:20:56] looks like maybe to upper right of chryso [21:20:58] yep perfect [21:21:01] Leggy small [21:21:25] Hemicorallium yes [21:21:47] are we going back to the other side to catch that star? [21:22:06] yes we are moving to see star [21:22:11] i think waiting on tether [21:22:20] ah understood [21:22:54] The leggy small one below the high bushy one [21:23:00] Narella would be the small white one between two Chryso [21:23:02] not waiting on tether lol [21:23:08] going for coral then sponge [21:23:28] Looking for calcification on the base of that Narella. [21:23:34] Gastropod was possibly a Naticidae. [21:23:54] Narella [21:23:58] christophermah leaves the room [21:24:07] This angle doesn't show base but Narella [21:24:09] lindasunderland leaves the room [21:24:31] Chris, these Chrysogorgiid has partly have branching like militalis...? [21:25:04] But color is wrong and not as pinnate perhaps Asako?

Let's just stick with Narella [21:26:12] waiting on tether so will get another close up [21:26:14] then going for star [21:26:17] Chris, mostly Chrysogorgia but the right side branching quite look like one side pinnate [21:26:24] christophermah leaves the room [21:27:09] from my view...

Totally!! We ended up doing similar in the MidPacs last summer on a dredging cruise. Ended up getting a few bags of carbonates at depths well below the very old Lamont dredges, where we thought we were into the exposed lavas. That wasn't what we were aiming for, but we got some great fossils and some data points extending the thickness of the gigantic carbonate platform that grew there. Having similar constraints along the NWHR is important [22:10:46] Well great Val.

[22:44:56] Asako what is this? [22:44:59] still kind of Paramuriceid [22:45:06] I suppose. [22:45:19] sample? [22:45:26] if possible, yes! [22:45:39] crinoid likely same as thalassometrid earlier [22:45:50] hydroids and barnacles attached [22:45:53] nice mahalo for ID [22:45:54] LAT : 28.781068 , LON : -179.12771 , DEPTH : 1405.0206 m, TEMP : 2.78838 C, SAL : 34.49693 PSU, DO : 1.38986 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [22:46:21] the first time we saw during this expedition. [22:47:46] could you have a zoom for closed polyps later? [22:49:24] CHRIS MAH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASTEROID - OPHIUROID CHAT [22:49:31] I couldn't be as effusive as I would have liked to given sample [22:49:34] but thank you!!!! [22:49:43] ha ha. sure. [22:50:09] and so cool - i remember learning about the ordovician sea star-brittle star debate a long time ago in the first year of grad school before I put on microfossil blinders [22:50:50] thank you!!

I'm fascinated and terrified by them! [22:51:05] have laser for the size of colony? [22:51:16] the Paleozoic morphology of asterozoans is ... complicated. :-) [22:51:27] irreguraly branching. [22:51:32] chitons! [22:51:45] wow.. SO MANY! [22:51:55] thank you!! [22:52:24] oh yes please if there's space [22:52:32] Pentametrocrinus [22:52:49] suction is best [22:52:54] it's ok [22:53:08] just get the middle and as many arms as you can [22:53:37] sounds good [22:55:11] christophermah leaves the room [22:55:16] samcuellar leaves the room [22:55:53] LAT : 28.781153 , LON : -179.127765 , DEPTH : 1407.8569 m, TEMP : 2.76454 C, SAL : 34.49672 PSU, DO : 1.37942 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0549 FTU [22:56:17] Sarah.. best word might be "cup" [22:56:26] cup :) yeesh [22:56:34] ha ha. that might be why we haven't gotten one before! [22:56:43] I am going to get fired whoops [22:56:47] we are chasing [22:56:56] the formal term is "calyx" =cup [22:57:03] perfect!!! [22:57:24] i don't think i've seen a successful crinoid chase before [22:57:29] thank you so much! [22:57:41] in EtOH right? [22:57:45] yep [22:57:59] D10_08B [22:58:16] if you want to be fancy you can put it in a shallow tray so it spreads out like a flower before you pour alcohol on [22:58:19] And kelly i forgot - range extension or undescribed sp? [22:58:41] likely a range extension but won't know till I see it [22:58:52] sounds good! [22:59:01] maybe we can collect this clavularia!? [22:59:30] piece of dead sponge with octocoral! [23:00:08] yep we should be able to do that. Going to so some cinematography frist [23:00:20] wonderful.

[23:10:27] Looks igneous to me [23:10:48] It's also SUPER HARD to tell apart sheet flows and carbonate, so I've been on the fence the whole time, haha [23:10:54] LAT : 28.781243 , LON : -179.127768 , DEPTH : 1402.5007 m, TEMP : 2.69067 C, SAL : 34.50602 PSU, DO : 1.4303 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [23:11:05] Ferromanganese crusts getting the way of rock ID [23:11:18] seriously wtf [23:11:22] sediment so much easier [23:11:28] unconsolidated simplicity [23:11:41] true! I seem to like geology on hard mode [23:11:53] oh wow, some really gorgeous pillow fragments here [23:11:58] apparently wtf! [23:12:34] They're also old and altered, so I have to leach the crap out of the rocks, or else the isotopic signatures are overprinted by seawater [23:12:44] ah I was about to ask about that [23:12:56] Even then, there are still some telltale signatures of phosphatization that we can't leach out of the rocks, so we've just learned how to ID phosphate signature [23:13:06] wow that's so wild dude [23:13:10] you really do geology on hard mode [23:13:51] Not many folks work on old Cretaceous seafloor, so it's a fun little niche to occupy [23:13:58] There's so much that hasn't been done [23:14:07] yes. that's a feature of Ophiocamax [23:15:06] i love that! val it is great being in small niches of geology world, but also tough when you don't have many colleagues to work with [23:15:39] lost video [23:15:54] back now [23:15:56] LAT : 28.781282 , LON : -179.127914 , DEPTH : 1402.4382 m, TEMP : 2.67487 C, SAL : 34.50962 PSU, DO : 1.45257 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [23:17:14] pteropod? [23:19:21] sarakahanamoku leaves the room [23:19:58] I've never seen this !!! [23:20:04] hah. that's not a star under there? [23:20:22] yeah right? what the heck??? [23:20:40] I didn't know that chiton can move like this!!!!!!! [23:20:47] so exciting!!!

[23:22:07] I thought it was a star at first? but its the dang FOOT [23:22:20] So that's what the underside of a chiton looks like. Wow! [23:22:50] Hey Sara, the rocks look laminated here. That's not usually an igneous texture [23:22:52] most are oblong ovals on bottom [23:23:04] this chiton is weird [23:23:10] YES VAL ABSOLUTELY [23:23:30] video back [23:24:53] sponge death assemblage [23:25:01] Okay this is really complcated here. There's also some stuff that sort of looks like small pillows, just below the frame of view now. Huh. [23:25:19] samcuellar leaves the room [23:25:24] okay. val. question. can igneous intrusive features erupt through carbonate caps underwater to then form pillow basalts? [23:25:27] oh wow. [23:25:28] or is that crazy? [23:25:33] I am so confused. [23:25:44] here's a diagram of the shallow chiton to show what we're seeing https://bodegahead.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-veiled-threat.html [23:25:49] can you collect this white octocoral? [23:25:56] LAT : 28.781228 , LON : -179.128062 , DEPTH : 1397.1029 m, TEMP : 2.6576 C, SAL : 34.51409 PSU, DO : 1.49409 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0733 FTU [23:26:01] When I would run into stuff I couldn't puzzle out during terrestrial field geology projects, I would just map out observations and figure it out later when I had more data on the map. It's easier when you can knock a piece of rock off an outcrop though [23:26:12] that's a great idea [23:26:16] wow I am learning so much from everyone!! [23:26:24] yeah next rov we need rock hammer [23:26:29] and Asako, collecting white octocoral [23:26:46] great thank you! [23:27:08] Haha, trying to picture an ROV hammering! It would probably send the ROV off in to the water column! [23:27:38] @asako what would you put fo the field ID? White paragorgia? [23:27:40] christophermah leaves the room [23:27:53] we saw very small colony of this white octocoral at previous dive, and it was mentioned as corallium. but it doesnt look like Corallidae. [23:28:12] @Brian watching how it break. [23:28:16] they can do it in space val... ;) (my partner actually helped design a zero-G rock hammer in undergrad, never got off the ground but loved the idea) [23:28:22] Asako do you have thoughts on a field ID? [23:28:37] ok. its Corallid!! [23:29:27] Oh that's cool, Sara! Some kind of spring loading mechanism or something like that to isolate the impact force? [23:29:54] we saw a similar white colony but it was on wall and very tiny. Steve Auscavitch suggest it may be Corallium. he was right! now we can see many. [23:29:58] set that up with a chisel and that'd pop some stuck rocks off [23:30:02] I think so val - it was housed in a giant shock essentially to help reduce the force. I can ask him for the plans, Im' sure they are somewhere haha [23:30:21] slurp? [23:30:56] @Sara field ID: Coralliidae. [23:30:58] LAT : 28.781277 , LON : -179.127977 , DEPTH : 1398.3469 m, TEMP : 2.65512 C, SAL : 34.51435 PSU, DO : 1.49765 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0549 FTU [23:31:00] also kelly this blog on chiton is awesome! [23:31:08] Thanks Asako, added Corallidae to field ID :) [23:31:26] yes they have some fun intertidal posts. [23:32:43] Would it be worth it (is there space?) to grab a chunk of the laminated rock for stratigraphic characterization if possible? [23:32:59] Yes i definitely think we should [23:33:27] Okay cool. Wasn't sure how much capacity was left - it's been a busy dive all around [23:33:33] can maybe double up in rock box? tricky but if the crust is as different as i think it is could be okay to do so? [23:34:17] D10_10B? [23:34:30] D10_11B [23:34:33] Should be okay to double that up. It would be distinct [23:34:55] got it thanks Sara [23:35:05] sounds good all around [23:35:25] :) [23:35:52] this has been a BUSY dive! [23:35:58] LAT : 28.781291 , LON : -179.128027 , DEPTH : 1395.5202 m, TEMP : 2.68307 C, SAL : 34.51538 PSU, DO : 1.49959 mg/l, TURBIDITY : 0.0611 FTU [23:36:19] First rock was a large solid block, second is angular slightly elongate with some possible good joints on one end, so I think it will be easy to tell apart a laminated sample [23:37:08] definitely agree, val [23:38:02] Great! [23:38:05] since we can't chunk off. will look at base of this feature [23:38:17] Gotta pop back into the lab for a couple. Hopefully for the last time today [23:38:32] great, enjoy! [23:41:38] note: we saw similar white Coralliidae at Dive 04 1488m. [23:42:18] see you Val! [23:42:26] ooh, you found one? [23:42:44] yes, we think maybe? [23:42:54] we're in some chaos b/c we have to report for drills [23:43:02] but we are in the middle of sampling so brian and I are swapping [23:43:06] roger [23:43:14] White gastropod in flat area beliw rock, [23:43:16] samcuellar leaves the room [23:47:02] Just crushed gastro [23:48:11] quick zoom on crinoid in background? [23:48:15] interesting area [23:48:24] wow, seriously interesting [23:48:27] shoot, sorry linda :( [23:49:30] D10_12G was laminated rock [23:49:48] antedonid with some fat pinnules [23:50:03] they're reproductive pinnules toward center [23:51:33] we could see white coralliidae abundant only here! [23:51:34] lindasunderland leaves the room [23:52:32] okexnav leaves the room [23:52:49] I'm gonna relocate home. Should be able to rejoin the dive before it ends. Great dive so far!

[23:57:57] not sure they are same or not. [23:58:08] larger one would be similar as we collected. [23:58:17] can zoom yellow coral after this [23:59:01] Thank you Sara. the smaller yellow one would be different... [23:59:10] the color looks different at least.
