Initial photos of the first samples we have received from Louisiana

Pictured is the result of preliminary tests done to determine the best enzyme/protein formulation for this particular sample. Notice the tarball on the white paper. A shell of accumulated sand forms around tarballs as they are rolled back and forth by natural wave action. A similar tarball was broken down by our enzyme/protein solution in the test vial. It was transformed into the layer of oil which you can see floating on top of the milky solution.

We anticipate further work with mechanical processes and further reformulations, the results of which we will continue to post here.

We also want to thank Frank for providing us with these samples.
