This photograph looks like a dramatic panoramic view of the ocean.
This photo is not a wide-angle shot of the ocean, but a close-up picture inside of a blue plastic bottle cap.
Nine unique zooplanktons once lived and traveled together in the Pacific Ocean on this 3cm diameter bottle cap (origin of country unknown) until it washed ashore on the beach of Ocean Shores.
They were all dried at the time they were discovered, but their visible outline (shapes and colors) were well preserved.
|
 |
We have not yet determined the biological classification of these 3 creatures, but they seem to be a family (or order) of Branchyura Zoea (larva of crab) from their body and distinguishing branching legs.
Two small baby fish (about 2mm); one on top and the other on the bottom. They appear to be either Butterfish or Golden threadfin bream. |

Who are you really?
This phytoplankton is looks remarkably like an alien that has Zygomatic arch organs, which is providing CO2 to the entire body of host as food. However, these are actually an alley of filamentous algae collected from Item #: 17147-42. Each cell diameter is about 45μm x 36μm. |
