This rock sample was collected during Dive 09 of the 2021 North Atlantic Stepping Stones expedition dive on Yakutat Seamount. After recovering the sample, it was determined to be a nummulite agglomeration. Nummulties are large single-celled organisms called foraminifera with a characteristic coil shape.
