View Full Version : cool photos Jean Feb 12th, 2007, 08:27pm While looking for some phytoplankton photos I came across this site, there are some amazing shots!

Is there some way we could "bookmark" it on Tonmo? Clem Feb 15th, 2007, 11:49am Jean, there are some truly wonderful cranch squid photos at that site. I've spent a lot of time looking at two in particular, on this page:Click here. (http://www.imagequest3d.com/cgi-bin/ImageFolio4/imageFolio.cgi?search=squid&img=96&cat=aquatic&bool=and) "Antarctic Cranch Squid," eh?:wink: Elsewhere there's a remarkable shot of a long-armed, big-tailed "Deep Sea Squid" (no ID) that's either on a monifilament line or shooting out one (or both) tentacles...the questionable bit goes out of frame. You'll know it when you see it.:twisted: Clem ps: I'd buy prints of some of these pics, they're that good. ob Feb 15th, 2007, 01:34pm I think it's hooked on a baited line, it's also "upside down", if there is such a thing in the weightless abbyss. Those M. hamiltonii pics are (as far as I can tell) not of a specimen we've seen before, by the way :shock: "Are those messie's eyes, I see before me?" Spectacular Spectacular! PS: Would that be marine bioluminescence expert Peter J. Herring from Southampton, by any chance? PPS: If so, there might be more where that came from! Clem Feb 16th, 2007, 11:25am "Are those messie's eyes, I see before me?" Olaf, those are clearly just bits of plastic sheeting.:twisted: I gotta go back to work, but those Herring shots should probably be linked to in a Cranchiid thread.

Clem Are you absolutely sure? :wink: Clem Mar 15th, 2007, 09:59am Are you absolutely sure? :wink: Olaf, why don't you track down Mr. Herring and get some background on this lil' Meso for us? I've done my Mesonychoteuthis pic-begging for this quarter. Get to it! Cheers, Clem ob Mar 15th, 2007, 10:03am Eye eye, cap'n! :smile: |
