Many wooden pillars covered with moss and half way up, years of layers of barnacles on the wharf underneath Granville Island, Vancouver, BC. The water is green with algae and reflects some of the pillars.

#Barnacles often settle higher on the shore than most other #organisms. They adapt to live part of their life out of water where they are able to get by on splashes extending beyond the high-tide line.

Been working off-and-on towards an .Rmd interactive textbook but haven't been able to work on for a while; need a Shiny tool in there that @silastittes.bsky.social wrote, and so I open it to 'cover image' - always struck by beauty of these #barnacles on rusty iron structures on the Florida coast.
An ancient concrete pipe covered with barnacles and seaweed sinks into the sand near other concrete debris similarly aged on Ruston Way Beach in Tacoma Washington on the Puget Sound as captured in 2018.

Back from the Sea
an extreme close-up of a dense colony of barnacles at low tide; a low sun gives them a rich golden hue and some warm secondary light, and toward the bottom, an extraordinarily tiny red mite does his best to navigate across this terrifying gargantuan landscape

A man in a green tee-shirt (Prof Andy Gale) recording Chalk stratigraphy and collecting samples at Keswick Chalk Pit, near Norwich, UK. The excavated chalk is white, but the weathered chalk surface is green with algae and has shrubs growing on it.
Pleased to have helped Andy Gale in his research - storvaxt.blogspot.com/2020/05/clin.... He's inspired me to find out more about early #Pleistocene #barnacles in the Norwich Crag Formation.

This small stalked barnacle resembles a dog's toe, with claw-like valves and a hairy stalk. It is found under rocks, where it can be hard to spot.

Photograph taken using a macro setting and a warm filter of barnacles on a razor clam shell. The shapes, holes and surface textures vary widely. Apologies to anyone with a fear of holes.

A commensal relationship between barnacles and a whale ๐
Originally painted in 2018 for my high school AP Art Concentration (the theme I chose was crustaceans).

Looking through multiple pointed wooden archways on a floating dock used for guest boating moorage. Barnacles can be seen on the lower portions of the wooden poles and the dark waters of Puget Sound are visible in the foreground.

Meet Balanus Nubilus. It's commonly called the giant acorn barnacle, and is the world's largest barnacle.
..and other trivia about barnacles in general.

As Captain Haddock would screech, "Billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles in a thundering typhoon!"

Shelly sediment of the Norwich Crag. A mixture of orangey-yellow sand and white and russet brown debris of fossil bivalve and gastropod shells, etc. Cockle shells are visible in the middle of the picture
Close up (@ 10 times magnification) of a sieved sample (@ 1.4 mm) of white and brown debris of fossil bivalve, gastropod and barnacle shells.
A sieved sample of barnacle debris from the Crag magnified 16 times.
A sieved sample of tiny gastropod shells - perhaps Hydrobia ulvae - from the Crag, magnified 16 times. Perhaps suggesting that mud flats were not far away.
New samples of shelly Norwich Crag sediment from the Waveney valley, Norfolk, UK, perhaps 1.5 m yrs old. A Crag site new to science and rich in fossils #barnacles #bivalves #forams #gastropods. Sadly samples were extracted from below quarry water level so field relationships uncertain. #Pleistocene

Extreme close-up of clustered barnacle shells on a rock. The ridged, white calcareous plates fill the frame, with dark, circular openings between them. One barnacle in the foreground shows a small amber droplet at its tip. Soft, warm lighting and shallow depth of field create a creamy, abstract background.
