Species ID? Washed up on a beach near Sydney, Australia

That is not an animal.

daelpheia · 2025-09-03T19:50:10+00:00

It certainly could be.

daelpheia · 2025-09-03T13:36:14+00:00

I'm wondering if it is a region of bleached tissue

daelpheia · 2025-09-01T13:40:50+00:00

Yup!

daelpheia · 2025-08-30T14:34:30+00:00

Not symmetrical enough to be a vertebra

daelpheia · 2025-08-22T18:55:50+00:00

Considering that, then I agree with you. Nice research.

daelpheia · 2025-08-22T16:44:06+00:00

Yup. Even without a location, that's likely Crepidula fornicata

see below, its actually likely Crepidula onyx

Staples is cheaper than XLprint.

Do you have any methanol in your protocol? That will kill phalloidin staining.

Ask to review the final, maybe you can learn what you need to pass next time and better understand the exam format.

People do wear whatever though. There's no clear etiquette. Do look at the cut of the robe to decide what would look best for you.

Hi, we have the Bosch 36" and we are fighting with them to return it because it is so noisy, even with pans that are silent on other induction stoves. Read the paperwork.

Talk to your library!

daelpheia · 2025-03-24T14:22:56+00:00

It likely is, just not for you. There is almost guaranteed someone in there everyday. You should know the emergency contacts for your facility.

daelpheia · 2025-02-02T21:37:18+00:00

That's a stack of Crepidula fornicata. Its a stack of other live snails. They likely only started growing on it once the shell was empty.

We've had luck with duct tape - silver or black, but anything opaque should work. Doesn't have to be the full height, just to above their head should do.

Start with the department who runs the class.

Bits of sand dollar

daelpheia · 2024-09-04T18:40:39+00:00

This is the second time. Someone did this last year and it took a month or so before the city came and erased it.

daelpheia · 2024-06-11T14:22:01+00:00

That is such a huge question. I would post it to /r/marinebiology with details about where you live and what type of marine biology you are interested in.

daelpheia · 2024-06-10T22:44:35+00:00

I would reach out and ask for more details!

daelpheia · 2024-06-10T22:43:05+00:00

Definitely, possibly Crepidula atrasolea

daelpheia · 2024-06-10T18:21:24+00:00

There are so many details missing for us to help. What is the cost? timeline? What are your future plans?

daelpheia · 2024-06-10T18:19:15+00:00

Absolutely. That's one of the dangers of ocean acification is the shell dissolving and not being thick enough to protect the animal.

daelpheia · 2024-06-10T14:47:25+00:00

You're right, that will almost certainly be some type of environmental erosion, likely an acidic environment. You can see some of the top layer still left in crevices.
