They really are fascinating creatures and I wish you the best look with defrosting! You must be really excited about the fact that it’s a whole specimen. I know I am!

I’ll be very interested in hearing about the age of the squid and kudos to Dr Kubodera for finding the statoliths in such a large animal! they don’t look too much longer than arrow squid statoliths…are they?

Good Luck!

Thank you so much for transmitting these webcasts. Still looks fairly frozen seems like you have your work cut out.

(How about a Neil Diamond soundtrack to accompany the work, eh Steve?)

Best of luck!
