Does anyone out there know of a (some) refs which I could use to identify
marine benthic inverts collected on mud/sand bottoms in waters from 40 to
400 fathoms? I have been asked to teach a jr/sr level marine bio class and
can handle the intertidal and water column but in the "deep" soft
bottom benthos I am lost. Thanks in advance. (thanks from those from whom I
stole the below)
