Wavy turban shell (Megastrea undosa). Alternating soaks in a 50% bleach solution and boiling water to remove the outer brown periostracum layer over 2 days. The brown-orange-cream coloring was fully revealed at the end of that process. I found the shell at a beach I’ve been to thousands of times in my life during the super low tide that comes opposite the King Tide. There may be more unseen than seen in our world.

Hung out with Al & Kelly and @rewildmissionbay / @sd_coastkeeper / @sandiegoaudubon at the Kendall-Frost Marsh during today’s king tide. The deepest tide of the year owing to gravity’s pull and a show of the extremes of water depth that we will see more of as the planet changes. We gotta work on a better world. I hope we can re-wild more of the bay!
