I always thought oysters were white. Or maybe greyish. But after I've looked at every other possibility, I think this is an oyster.

This was on a low rock about halfway down the intertidal zone. It's small, for an oyster; about 2 to 2.5 inches long. We only saw the one. I've seen a few, very few, oysters in the sand on White Rock beach before, but they were all white.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
