Excellent slide show here -- way to go Debi!

Very cool! One of the smallest and intact Archies it says. Can't wait to hear your guys' insights.

Wow, yeah, those are some great pictures of a great specimen!

Got any more pictures for us, Debi? I'd love to see some closeups of the skin, particularly, since I've pretty much never seen pics of Architeuthis with the skin intact like that. Oh, and closeups of the eyes would be great, too...

I'm curious if it had identifiable prey in its gut, too, of course... heck, I'm pretty interested in general!

Wow, that is so cool! The beak and tentacles are so small, it's adorable.

Now THIS is what happens to any lab that hosts a TONMOCON, may it be an inspiration to the NIOZ here in Den Helder:smile:

Great find! Overall appearance (fins!) really seems to indicate a proper ID, very, very exciting...

The Specimen was absolutely fabulous. No, I don't know what was in it's stomach yet. But we did find a little penis so ...It's a BOY! Yes I have lots of pictures. Here are a few. Click on the link. Please do not use them with out presmission.

OOPS forgot to mention I just receive photos of an Asperoteuthis found the day before the juv giant squid of the Islamorada hump

That's great -- thanks Debi for sharing!! 8-)

more great pics! Thanks!

WOW

That specimen is truly priceless! That's the 'missing link' everyone has wanted to see! TRULY fantastic!
