Animal, Plant, Mineral, or Man-Made?

This summer, the MBARI interns invite you to play “Animal, Plant, Mineral, or Man-Made.” Each Monday, we’ll post an up-close image of a mystery sample with a clue. Examine the image carefully, then send in your guess (one per person) to mbarisummerinternblog@gmail.com until Friday. The next Monday, the page will be updated to reveal the image and the name of the person who guessed correctly. The winner will receive a Mystery Prize in the mail, as well as the eternal prestige of being a winner of “APMM.”
