Description: Sessile Scyphozoa described as "stalked jellies", in this case observed attached to a pebble on the seabed. Based on morphological characters and the depth/locality this is probably Lucernaria bathyphila Item Type: Image Title: Lucernaria bathyphila Copyright: SERPENT Project Species: Lucernaria bathyphila Site: Atlantic -- North Sea -- West of Shetland -- RosebankNorth Sea -- West of Shetland -- Rosebank Site Description: Seafloor Depth (m): 1085 Latitude: 60 deg 59' 33" N Longitude: 3 deg 49' 49" W Habitat: Benthic Rig: Transocean Rather Project Partners: Chevron, Subsea 7, Transocean ROV: Centurion 05 HD (work class) Deposited By: Dr Andrew Gates Deposited On: 25 July 2007
