Location 2, inside the southernmost casemate. The cooler temperatures inside the casemate allow the oil to become more viscous so that it remains on top of the wet sand. Note the tabby walls with brick quoining in the background. (Photo: NCPTT, Carol Chin.)

Jason Church collects samples of oil-saturated sand northwest of the outer wall of Fort Livingston, Grand Terre Island. The dark patches on the sand in the foreground are areas where "mousse" that washed up on the beach melted into the sand. The structure's walls are tabby, faced with brick. Note the high tide line indicated by the dark oil staining on the brick and the tabby in the background.
