Time-series analysis of six whale-fall communities in Monterey Canyon, California, USA (2010, unknown): “The exact date of its arrival on the seafloor is unknown, but is estimated as roughly six months prior to discovery, based on the amount of flesh remaining and (210)Pb/(226)Ra disequilibria (Goffredi et al., 2004; Schuller et al., 2004).”
