[00:10:29] your computer has sun shadow detect option Scott ;-) [00:11:03] Another Walteria. [00:11:22] LAT :0.80378, LON : -176.67422, DEPTH : 2264.9458m, TEMP : 2.08234C, SAL : 34.64974 PSU, DO : 3.46393 mg/L [00:12:06] is that dead sponge? [00:12:17] @Asako: It has a lets-play-tricks-on-Scott-to-see-how-angry-we-can-make-him option. It deploys that option a lot. [00:12:27] yes dead [00:12:58] @Steve: looking back through some images in my database, I retract my previous statement. That last bamboo fan may have been a D2 clade. [00:13:43] @Scott: you don't have to check box on for those option!:P [00:13:44] @Scott Good to know! I'm learning my bamboo clades one at a time! [00:14:34] @Asako: :-) [00:15:41] stevenauscavitch leaves the room [00:16:14] fair bit of snow in the water for this depth [00:16:22] LAT :0.80389, LON : -176.67428, DEPTH : 2252.4959m, TEMP : 2.07095C, SAL : 34.64895 PSU, DO : 3.44637 mg/L [00:20:12] Baby bamboo... [00:20:20] Or at least a youngster [00:21:20] The sun fade crashed our video feed of camera one. I'm looking at it on my laptop, but it's difficult to toggle between it, the chatroom, and SeaScribe [00:21:23] LAT :0.80403, LON : -176.67428, DEPTH : 2245.4936m, TEMP : 2.08846C, SAL : 34.64878 PSU, DO : 3.59238 mg/L [00:22:35] @Bruce: I had to restart the video as well (it is playing on a separate laptop that did not carsh) [00:22:36] @Bruce: I always do that! [00:23:27] I didn't even know Steve was on the dive today! [00:23:36] he has been muted that long [00:23:49] Quality, not quantity, of biomass! [00:24:14] scott-shhhh [00:24:55] D'Oh! [00:25:43] OMG--so totally cool! I'm getting a pinched nerve in my neck from hunching over my little computer screen!!! [00:25:48] I wonder if it engulfed a prey item near the base...? [00:26:23] LAT :0.80393, LON : -176.67436, DEPTH : 2239.5933m, TEMP : 2.09316C, SAL : 34.64526 PSU, DO : 3.44352 mg/L [00:26:36] Nope. Another polychaete on the "outside" [00:27:02] briankennedy leaves the room [00:28:10] jelly!!!!! [00:28:12] From this distance it looks like a scleraxonian skeleton... [00:28:34] slightly pink-ish [00:28:45] Okay Dhugal: time for an ID! [00:29:11] wow. I hope there is a good dorsal shot of that jelly. The video jumped when I though I might be able to see it [00:30:01] Looked like a Trachymedusa, maybe a rhopalonematid but I would need to see the gonad placement on the radial canals.. [00:30:45] If you see any more then please try and get another good shot m(..)m [00:31:24] LAT :0.80402, LON : -176.67447, DEPTH : 2229.3481m, TEMP : 2.12070C, SAL : 34.64658 PSU, DO : 3.47513 mg/L [00:31:37] Looks like a Paragorgiid [00:31:53] I agree - that last skeleton was likely a dead paragorgiid. [00:32:48] asteroschemid ophiuroid [00:33:04] new branch... [00:33:26] stroniferous on rock? [00:33:41] used to use arm to disc ratio as a diagnostic character in asteroschemids [00:35:13] yes they are [00:35:18] from that view and pretending I had a microscope looking at the arrangemnt of ossicles on the aboral side, looked like they were granule shaped- would be Ophiocreas.... [00:35:40] @Tim: I think the larger asteroschematids are pretty typical for paragorgiids... agree? [00:36:22] Cool stoloniferous octo... [00:36:26] LAT :0.80402, LON : -176.67443, DEPTH : 2228.8400m, TEMP : 2.06573C, SAL : 34.65085 PSU, DO : 3.52506 mg/L [00:36:48] Paragorgids either have a circus of small smooth ophiuroids on them or a single larger asteroschematid, like Paramuricea [00:37:05] Geologists are not interested in to collect rock here? [00:37:14] what we saw was not atipical for a fan of that size. [00:37:19] Primnoid? [00:37:23] Yup. [00:37:26] primnoid with ophiocanthids [00:37:52] were these the same ophs in the sponges? [00:38:36] Polyps facing downward... Maybe a Narella [00:39:29] wow nice coral skyline [00:40:44] I think another Narella but with polyps less contracted [00:40:53] So they aren't curled downward yet [00:40:56] no associates on this one. [00:41:03] why? [00:41:16] tim: too many other options :) [00:41:25] LAT :0.80413, LON : -176.67445, DEPTH : 2228.5881m, TEMP : 2.05405C, SAL : 34.65016 PSU, DO : 3.51147 mg/L [00:41:36] Yes both narella, my guess too [00:41:40] brittle star may know species... [00:41:41] was that a suicidal ophiuroid again? [00:42:12] Bamboo coral [00:42:25] classic ophiocanthid [00:42:40] Internodal [00:42:57] D2 clade "Eknomisis" [00:46:25] LAT :0.80418, LON : -176.67439, DEPTH : 2225.8398m, TEMP : 2.11447C, SAL : 34.64639 PSU, DO : 3.38159 mg/L [00:46:55] Possible hydroid Solanderia [00:47:13] The whole colony IS a hydroid [00:47:56] Annelid on right [00:48:19] @Scott: it is any possiblity that this is the skeleton of "Paragorgia-like" colony yesterday? [00:49:14] sorry it was not yesterday.. [00:49:19] Check out: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55f7ccffe4b025e604f06e66/55f7de5fe4b0d9c41f12ecfb/55fe3142e4b0c9966d10ed96/1444811736364/Zintzen_photography-70.jpg?format=1000w [00:49:46] Wow scott. looks spot on. [00:49:59] This is better: https://www.niwa.co.nz/blogs/critteroftheweek/196 [00:50:13] chirostylid on coral to the right [00:50:29] wow! [00:50:40] I thought chrysogorgiid [00:50:43] wowza [00:50:46] sample? [00:50:50] I suggest collecting a branchlet [00:50:54] 30min left [00:51:18] agree with collection! [00:51:26] LAT :0.80410, LON : -176.67431, DEPTH : 2224.7183m, TEMP : 2.12314C, SAL : 34.64791 PSU, DO : 3.48852 mg/L [00:51:31] any associates??? [00:51:34] But if it is going to eat up the rest of the time... [00:51:36] not seeing any [00:51:40] I suppose this could be dead skeleton earlier [00:51:47] ...then maybe better to see more of hwat was turning into something amazing [00:52:03] where are the chriostylids? [00:52:07] shrimp? [00:52:14] what the **** is that? [00:52:28] should be an "older" colony, no? [00:52:37] REALLY old [00:52:43] colony of WHAT? [00:53:14] chysogorgid, yes, but... [00:53:17] another colony [00:53:24] wow [00:53:39] thinking.... [00:54:15] Looks like a chrysogorgiid [00:54:18] scan or sample? we have one solid sample collection time block remaining. I think surveying could also be valuable. Lots of diversity here... [00:54:19] wow. don't know this one [00:55:23] do you think we can collect with this associate? [00:55:28] i dunno, those giant chysogorgids are pretty special... [00:55:54] Of course, torn between sampling and scanning. I'll bet that chrysogorgiid was something new though. [00:56:06] agreed [00:56:10] spines along the cephal margin, and such thick upper arm segments. Wow. [00:56:19] what was the crab? Tim? [00:56:26] LAT :0.80415, LON : -176.67434, DEPTH : 2221.1894m, TEMP : 2.12807C, SAL : 34.64560 PSU, DO : 3.46870 mg/L [00:56:35] Just means we need another dive at 2200 meters in this region! :-) [00:56:42] i thought it was longer. might need to keep moving... [00:56:47] scott: rog [00:56:50] @scott - agreed again [00:56:58] agree Scott! [00:57:03] Y'all are so agreeable today! :-) [00:57:11] look at those giant colonies in the background! [00:57:13] agreed [00:57:38] amazing spot. nice find, guys! [00:57:44] Great area! [00:58:19] yes....I thought is in the Eumunididae, but Chirostylid, I think. Looked like Pseudomunida with really thickly spined and thick arms with spines along the carapace margin. Staring a framegrab. My new screensaver. [00:58:20] Mary might want a close-up of one of the Walteria's if you can see any shrimp in them. [00:59:01] Yes, move on up....forego the shrimp close-up :-) [01:00:04] Macrouridae, couldn't see enough to identify to genus. Maybe a Kumba? [01:00:07] Is this a bamboo? Yes - a Jasonisis or Orstomisis [01:00:12] that crab looked like a galatheid [01:00:31] good surprise:) [01:01:27] LAT :0.80431, LON : -176.67414, DEPTH : 2216.7693m, TEMP : 2.12557C, SAL : 34.64530 PSU, DO : 3.44756 mg/L [01:02:38] barnacle on the tip of this one where there is dead skeleton, one crinoid [01:02:53] It is reaching out to the manipulator as if it is saying "Take me with you." [01:03:16] briankennedy leaves the room [01:04:40] "take me to the deck" [01:05:05] I wish! We're approaching the saddest hour of the day [01:05:19] Macrouridae, Coryphaenoides species [01:06:02] We never got our Internet 1 feed of camera 1 back, so I'm looking at the Youtube feed with at least a 20 second delay [01:06:05] If ya'll want to do another dive in this depth range it would be a good idea to note that in the post dive call.

[01:07:43] Nope. [01:08:07] primnoid? [01:08:15] Candidella [01:08:28] really? such tight branching... [01:08:41] old colony [01:08:53] No, a freakin' old colony! [01:09:09] Paramuricid? [01:09:16] also probably not C imbricata but another species [01:09:18] 70 MYO seamount... [01:09:27] I cant believe this wonderful view! [01:09:37] briankennedy leaves the room [01:09:44] Overgrown Paragorgiid! [01:09:48] White morph [01:09:51] Paragorgia with zoanthds [01:10:04] still living with all those zoanthids. wow [01:10:10] @Erik: with 20 mya corals? :-) [01:10:11] agree@Scott [01:10:14] lol [01:10:41] i would believe > 1000 [01:10:45] have called this asteroscema morph 2 in the Atlantic...almost identical....need more time here! [01:10:59] at this depth.... [01:11:05] and the size of those colonies [01:11:12] It looks from camera 3 that we are just getting to the crest of the ridge. Is that your impression on board? [01:11:28] LAT :0.80421, LON : -176.67414, DEPTH : 2215.2081m, TEMP : 2.05966C, SAL : 34.64772 PSU, DO : 3.46528 mg/L [01:11:47] yes this is the crest on hypack [01:12:15] barely making WP1 [01:14:46] That's all folks! What an ending [01:14:57] amandademopoulos leaves the room [01:15:05] Awesome stuff. Too bad it was at the end. [01:15:16] like the finale of a fireworks display. Nicely planned. [01:15:24] it was really great dive! I want to start now. [01:15:30] Although if we had seen it earlier it still may have been the end because we would have spent so much time!
