Sediment collected from the end of the Blue Spring swimming run. Compare with the much coarser sediment collected from the area immediately around spring's boil, approximately 1/8 mile away. Note especially the presence of gastropod and ostracod shells here: the water immediately around the boil doesn't hold sufficient oxygen or nutrients to support much life. https://viewer.gigamacro.com/view/gFzMSruhoc34gmvX Collected under Florida Park Service permit number 07022113.
