We've had some nice low tides along Puget Sound. July 5th was about a minus 3.9. Some creatures:
1) Mottled Star (Evasterias troschelii)
2) Ochre Sea Star (Pisaster ochraceus) and Painted Anemone (Urticina grebelnyi)
3) Orange Sea Cucumber (Cucumaria miniata)
4) Northern Kelp Crab (Pugettia producta)

Picking out fossils from the collection for potential future display. Came across this spectacular starfish fossil from the Jurassic of England.

The Nottingham Natural History Museum at Wollaton Hall is a treasure trove of fantastic specimens.

This is close-up of the skin of a Panamic Cushion Star. I found this one in the Gulf of California, which is the northern limit of their range. Sea Stars are always fun to watch, especially their tube feet as they move across the ocean floor.

I took a walk on the beach of Padre Island National Seashore in south Texas and saw so many sea stars aka starfish washing in with the waves. While I saw the beauty in all, this one captured my attention with the pattern it left on the sand.

And here’s an ochre sea star trying to pry open a California mussel for a meal.

Starfish can regenerate their arms, like this one is doing. And it’s not just the odd arm here and there, oh no! It is thought that they can pretty much regenerate a whole body, just as long as the central disc is intact! This is no mean feat, considering that starfish’s arms contain a water vascular system for moving hundreds of tube feet, their reproductive organs, their digestive system, and their eyes!!
