My final mollusc of the challenge just had to sneak in here to round off my Seashore series… Hydatina Zonata, an intertidal zone inhabitant, usually found cast up on a wrack line. Fragile, akin to a fine eggshell, these beautiful little molluscs were a lucky find on a windy beach on Masirah island, Oman. I suspect they were blown across the waves and ended up tangled and dried in seaweed, where I found them…
Many thanks to all who followed me around the A to Z of my local seashores. Your likes and comments made me determined to finish this challenge. I am off to another time zone now to discover different seashores…watch this space…
I have only today found your blog, but shall have to spend more time with it. I spent five year living in Dubai (working on the initial construction of Jebel Ali port in the late 70s and early 80s), so there will be much that will stir memories for me.
Congratulations on completing the A-Z.
