    #Beach gooseneck #barnacles find.
    There's 3 different types of barnacles found in BC waters/on beaches - acorn, gooseneck & whale - the latter grows on whales' bodies. Barnacles are a longtime, year-round staple #seafood for coastal #Indigenous #FirstNations. In particular, the #Haida & #Kwakwakawakw & #Pacheedaht #FirstPeoples have several documented stories involving barnacles, including food prep recorded histories.

    Barnacles are #ancient and can be dated to the middle of Cambrian period of Paleozoic because of Burgess Shale deposits in #BritishColumbia. They're #hermaphroditic #MarineAnimals.

  2. Visit #ShirleyBC - between #Sooke & #PortRenfrew & stop at #MuirBeach 👍Walk along beach until you reach the #fossils 😊 There's lots of shell, fish & other animal fossils visible here & more if you bushwack along the river(trails are all overgrown, bring a machete). There's also resident otters that live here & it's fab for birdwatching too.
