Abstract

The box of slides documents the field work of William Osman relating to benthic marine life during 1978-1980. Images show benthic marine life growing on plates that have been submerged in areas along San Mateo, California. Slides include the following information: size (e.g. L), identifier (e.g. K4 2MK), month and year (e.g. 8-80), and unidentified information (e.g. 155-13). The slides are divided into four columns that are described on a sheet a paper inside the box lid. Cells that correspond with column divisions contain information about size and location (e.g. Large A3).
