Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (Invertebrate Zoology, Cephalopod)

I spent some time looking at 30 hours of deep sea squid footages and specimen samples at NMNH last week.  What an incredible experience to see their cephalopod collection which dates all the way back to the first ocean expedition in 19th century.  Here are some samples.  This professional visit was made possible by Dr. Mike Vecchione, National Marine Fisheries Service.
