🌊🐚 Scientists teamed up with YouTuber Ze Frank to let the public name a bizarre new species of deep-sea #chiton found over 5,000 meters down.

The winner? Ferreiraella populi – the "chiton of the people." The strange #mollusk lives exclusively on sunken wood and carries a tiny community of worms near its tail.

De Korè van Lyon

Kijk, dit is nou leuk. Tweemaal. Ik bedoel het bovenstaande beeld, dat ik vorige maand heb gefotografeerd in het Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lyon. Het stelt een vrouw voor en als u eens een boek over Griekse kunstgeschiedenis hebt gelezen, weet u dat kuntshistorici dit type standbeeld aanduiden als een korè, “meisje”. Archeologen moeten er honderden hebben gevonden, zoals ze ook honderden kouroi hebben gevonden, “jongens”. De meeste dateren uit de zesde eeuw v.Chr., en altijd zijn het staande figuren die je frontaal aankijken. Ze hebben altijd één voet iets naar voren; de jongens zijn naakt, de meisjes gekleed. Ze zijn vrij nauwkeurig te dateren aan de hand van de amandelogen, de glimlach en (bij de kouroi)  de klutsknieën. Dit meisje is uit steen gehouwen tussen 540 en 520 v.Chr. Ze heeft als offerande een duif in de hand.

Het eerste wat leuk is aan dit beeld, is dat het is gemaakt van een marmersoort die werd (en wordt) gewonnen bij Athene, en dat de wijze waarop de kunstenaar het lichaam heeft afgebeeld, eveneens duidt op een Atheens atelier. Maar Atheense korai dragen meestal een lange wollen peplos, terwijl deze korè een linnen chiton draagt. Dat kledingstuk was populair in de Griekse steden in het westen van het huidige Turkije; anders gezegd, we hebben een oosterse invloed.

Opvallend is bovendien dat ze een schouder onbedekt heeft, zoals bij een mantel. Dat zou een noordelijke invloed kunnen zijn. In elk geval was de kans heel klein dat een Atheense er zo bij heeft gelopen. In de achttiende eeuw was het beeld in Marseille, maar we weten niet hoe het er is gekomen.

Leuk ding twee: in 1936 publiceerde Humphry Payne (broer van de bekende astronome) zijn boek Archaic Marble Sculpture from the Acropolis, waarin hij erop wees dat het onderlichaam en de linkerschouder van de korè van Lyon nog altijd in Athene waren. Het museum in Lyon bezit afgietsels van de Atheense delen van het beeld, maar de kwaliteit is abominabel, en daarom stelt men alleen het bovenlichaam tentoon.

[Dit was het 497e voorwerp in mijn reeks museumstukken.]

Mijn boek over Libanon is verschenen. De opbrengst is geoormerkt voor Cordaid Libanon.

Another 2024 print for #insertAnInvert: made for the #InsertAnInvert2024 prompt is crawler, about shellfish who can drag themselves over surface like the spectacularly coloured lined chitons (Tonicella lineata), beautiful, tiny marine mollusc of the North Pacific. I don’t usually make reduction prints but I think I might otherwise loose my mind trying to capture the complex patterns.

@alcootatooter also and just for good measure :awesome: #wildoz
"There are about 1000 species of #Chiton worldwide, Australia has about 150 species and 90% of these are native to #Australia. Most species are quite small (between 2 and 5 cm long). The largest rarely exceed 30 cm. All chitons are marine living, in cold water and in the tropics, mostly in #intertidal or #subtidal zones." http://www.mesa.edu.au/molluscs/molluscs_09.asp

@alcootatooter oh wow I had no idea about #chiton #chitons 😯 thanks for showing me!!

2 more pics of #chiton at Rodeo beach

I saw a living #chiton down at Rodeo beach this morning, usually just see the remains wash up. The tide was far enough out to see some rock pools and a few of these wonderful creatures.

This week the #InsertAnInvert2024 prompt is crawler, about shellfish who can drag themselves over surface like the spectacularly coloured lined chitons (Tonicella lineata), beautiful, tiny marine mollusc of the North Pacific. I don’t usually make reduction prints but I think I might otherwise loose my mind trying to capture the complex patterns. Each 5 cm long animal has zigzag purple or black lines on 8 valves 🧵1/n

I don’t usually do reduction prints, but it seems the only sane way to get the registration right and reproduce the pattern. This print is going to need a lot of layers!

The next shelled creature prompt for #InsertAnInvert2024 is a crawler - an invertebrate which can drag itself across surfaces. I cannot resist the spectacular lined chiton (Tonicella lineata) which have amazing, varied, complex multicoloured patterned shells. 🧵1/2

Unraveling the mystery of #chiton visual systems https://news.ucsb.edu/2024/021384/unraveling-mystery-chiton-visual-systems

A morphological basis for path-dependent #evolution of visual systems: Rebecca Varney et al. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg2689

"You’d probably walk past a chiton without seeing it. These creatures often look like nothing more than another speck of seaweed. But it sees you. At least, if it’s one of the species with eyes dotting its platemail shell... some of these tough #mollusks sport the most recently evolved eyes with a lens"

A Chiton (possibly Lepidochitona cinerea) and a Common Periwinkle (Littorina littorea), County Clare, Ireland.

#Chiton #periwinkle #Ireland

Next up in my 2022 favourite photos round-up we have a common chiton (Lepidochitona cinerea). This mollusc come in a variety of patterns and colours and I thought this one was particularly special because of its pink girdle that matches the pink encrusting algae it’s sitting on. You can see the polymorphism (the physical variety) of these guys on my website. I made a database of them!
