Answers to yesterdays questions/Project Green
In the first picture, there are the following shells: Oyster, coquina, Anger wing, Razor, clam, cockle and scallop. There are also three crab shells. One is from a Sargasso crab and the other two are from spider crabs.
The second picture is of a Horseshoe crab. Horseshoe crabs have 10 eyes. They have one main pair on the front of their head like we do but have 4 other pairs on their body. They are used a lot for vision research because of this.
This is the body of a sea urchin. After they die and dry out, this is all that is left. They are a cousin to the starfish and there is a small star on the bottom of the shell.
The last “creature” is my son. He thinks he is a sand crab so he buries himself in the sand.
Thanks for visiting. Maybe next time I can make it a contest and give away a prize.
I am going to start participating in Project Green. I will be posting a green picture every day if possible. With all my gardening going on, this should be easy but I bet it is harder than I think. I tried to upload a picture a moment ago but it wouldn't let me. Must be more blogger problems. I will try again later. I forget the name of this plant but it is very pretty. It keeps coming back every year.
Have a wonderful day,
Greg

Anyway, I have never seen a horse shoe crab. 10 eyes? I just never knew. And, is the sea urchin still able to sting (well, if you step on it's stinger) when it's dead?? That may sound stupid, but you never know unless you ask, right????
I'll try to stop later to see what you post for the Green Project.
That said, we don't have horseshoe crabs (creepy looking little suckers aren't they?) Are they any good to eat? But I recognised some of your shells and sandy kids are common round here in the summer.
Looking forward to your green pics.
