1.5 x 1

Yesterday, Eric was doing some work at the microscope when he looked up and said I might want to take a look at something.  He was right, and I think you might like it, too:




A beautiful juvenile chiton!  Here's a close-up of one edge:

Not sure which species of chiton it is.  Perhaps Julia will recognize it?  :)
