[NewCandle] Nicks new squid pics

[Nick Reiter]

Hi Horace,

Thank you!

I would be happy to take a gander with EDS and SEM at any sample you have.  I would only need a few crumbs of said rock, a gram or two most.

If you ever want to get some out to me, my mailing address is:

412 North Main Street
Gibsonburg, Ohio 43431

All the best,
