One of my favorite bivalves is the oyster Gryphea. They were common in the Jurassic, when they could be found in shallow muddy environments. They were "recliners", using a boatlike lower valve to stay suspended on the sediment surface. Much of Europe is covered by sedimentary rocks from shallow marine environments of that time, so Gryphea was well known before we even knew what fossils were. They were called "devil's toenails" and carried to bring good luck and ward off rheumatism. #clamfacts
food chores
I think it’s because I usually go in the morning/early afternoon but I had to go in the evening today instead and it was crowded :/
my building’s public balcony is locked so I can’t go there. I have no rooftop access. I could go to my work building but I don’t feel like going there now (and should’ve gone half an hour ago if I wanted to). my building’s inner stairways don’t have windows except right near the bottom floor
