Start/end coordinates and depth range reflect sample collection events from cruise dive log. Overall dive coordinates and maximum depth from WHOI dive log: 09-01.817N, 09-01.817N (9.0303, -84.623); 1433 m. This locality was originally called "Mound Quepos" but renamed "Parrita Seep" on the ROC HITS 2018 expedition (AT42-03). This site is consistent with the locality details in Table 1 of Levin et al., 2015, and is within ~300 m of the "Parrita Seep" site visited on dive AD4990. Note that this site is 6.5 km (= 4 miles = 3.5 nautical miles) from the site of AD4506, also "Mound Quepos" at 1180 m, but the localities are part of the same geographical feature.
