I'm so sorry that I haven't written for the last coupe of weeks!!!!!!!!!!
Really sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!
What with school and extracurricular activities, I just haven't had the time.
But here's a nice post to (sort of) make up for it.
So for today, I decided to switch things up a bit and make it "Throwback Tuesday" instead of "Thursday".
And I'm going to show you more photos from March of last year at Sanibel, FL
This is a skate egg. Skates are related to sharks, they are both from the class Chondrichthys and are related to other fish with skeletons of cartilage, like themselves.
Skate eggs are also called "mermaids purses" which I always thought was a cute name. :D
Over the years I have found quite a few of these shell, but have given them away to friends and family. I found this out, because a few days ago, I was going over my shell collection and realized that I had maybe only two or three Lettered Olives!!!
OH NO!!!! I'm definitely gonna be on the look out for these when I next go to the beach.
A Sand Dollar. Not sure what species though.
This here, a Lightning Whelk.
And how can you tell?
That's right! By the fact that the shells opening is to the left side.
I hope that you remember, from one of my previous posts, what right-handed and left- handed shells are. :D
A Lightning Whelk shell with a Hermit Crab inside.
And finally, a Lined Sea Star. Sea Stars have many, many tiny tube feet on their undersides that help them move. The tube feet are helped by the star's water-vascular system that provides hydraulic pressure. On the picture here, you can see the several tracks that the sea star left on the sand.
There were lots and lots of these cute Echinoderms on the beaches at low tide.
Well, as you mighta guessed, I gotta go ( again)! :D
See ya soon,
Lava of Ocean Dawn :D
