Both excellent guesses. I especially liked your first guess, as I can see right away why you thought that -- some chitons have a very "hairy" or "fuzzy" appearance. When you look very closely (or once you know what you're looking at!), I think you'll be able to recognize those structures as spines, rather than hairs (or tentacles). The answer is revealed in the next post (on February 3rd)!
Chiton covered with sand?
ReplyDeleteCan I guess again? Scallop?
