This will drop from the Nagas all around the immediate area, not just the ones right next to the dead surveyors. There are plenty more on the beach and in the ruins below.
Word of warning, the drop rate is awful. I thought i was doing the quest completely wrong, so i re-read it. Something crazy like 50 kills later i finally got it.

Description
It's too late to assist the cartographers in completing their mission, but it appears they collected the data Harbinger Mikolaas was expecting. The crystal storing their survey information was not among their ransacked packs, so it must be in the hands of the Wrathscale naga. You know that Harbinger Mikolaas will be saddened by the loss of the survey crew, but would want to salvage the survey data.
