本日は近くの磯に生物採集に行ってきました。礫をめくるとスルスルと動きだすヒザラガイの仲間がとても可愛く印象的でした！

We conducted #benthos sampling in the intertidal zone around the #Asamushi Research Center today and observed some delightful #Polyplacophora!

eight shell pieces, called valves, that compose the shell of a chiton or polyplacophora

OH NICE! A cleared prep of a chiton! Chiton goodalli- a group of molluscs with 8 valves held together with a big fleshy girdle! Also called #Polyplacophora!
