Shore durometer B, C, D, DO, E, M, O, OO, OOO, OOO-S, and R. Each scale results in a value between 0 and 100, with higher values indicating a harder material. Durometer, like many other hardness tests, measures the depth of an indentation in the material created by a given force on a standardized presser foot. This depth is dependent on the hardness of the material, its viscoelastic properties, the shape of the presser foot, and the duration of the test. ASTM D2240 durometers allows for a measurement of the initial hardness, or the indentation hardness after a given period of time.
Shore skink species. Shore skink The shore skink ("Oligosoma smithi" ), also commonly known as the short-tailed skink, Smith's ground skink, Smith's moco, and Smith's skink, is a species of skink native to the north half of the North Island of New Zealand. The shore skink is always found near the shoreline and prefers open areas such as around driftwood at the high tide mark. "Oligosoma smithi" eats insects and probably anything that moves and fits in its mouth. The shore skink is diurnal (active during the day) and spends most of its time hunting or basking in the sun.
