rolandwirthDescription
Maybe a Trentepohlia? It seemed very coarse - stiff compared to other more hairlike Trentepohlia(s) found in the area. Found during dry weather on rocks in muskeg at around 1,000 ft elevation. It was peeling off the rock with a skin like membrane where it contacted the rock.
Another interesting, seemingly contradictory to the Trentepohlia idea, is the fact that this is growing on the SSE face of an exposed boulder which would experience considerable sunny drying conditions. The Trentepohlias in this area usually seem restricted to dark shady north facing habitats it seems?

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.

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.
