  4. A vertebrae from one of the smaller cetacean species (whales and dolphins) found in Irish waters. At a guess I'd say it comes from a Common Dolphin (Delphinus delphis) or a Bottlnosed Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). County Clare, Ireland.

  5. A Grey Triggerfish (Balistes carolinens) Regular summer visitors to irish coastal waters they sometimes get caught out by Autumn storms and dropping sea temperatures. Here you can see their distinctive teeth and dorsal spines (trigger). County Clare, Ireland.

  6. A mixture of Limpet (Patella vulgata) and Periwinkle (Littorina littorea) trails give an idea as to the extent of their movement between tides. County Clare, Ireland.

  7. A Limpet village - these Hardy marine gastropods (Patella spp.) gather in sheltered areas during periods of rough weather and spread out again once it settles down. Once commonly eaten by coastal communities they'd be a rarity in most irish homes these days.

  8. I think this might be the skull of a Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus),but this is a guess based on its similarities to pics I've seen - if anyone has any other suggestions I'd love to hear them!

  9. A juvenile male Brown Crab (Cancer pagurus) that has lost a pincer and a leg in some sort of scuffle recently. Luckily he'll be able to grow them back if he can manage to stay out of trouble for a while.

  10. A hefty delf fragment- I'm guessing it came from a large serving dish. I'm also guessing someone was in the bad books when this dish got broken 🤣
