Since this observation shows signs of decomposition, I compared it with previous observations to make sure I didn't add any duplicates to the project. This was a time-consuming, tedious, and error-prone process because it involves hundreds of visual comparisons, but I think it's important to go through this exercise in order to get an accurate count.
