Two mossy chitons, Mopalia muscosa. North Moonstone Beach tidepool, low tide, Cambria Calif
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mopalia_muscosa The one to the right is a bit less than 2 inches long.
The pearlescent luster of their shells is pretty cool, and only obvious once I had the photos up on the "big screen".
The grey metallic-looking disk behind the pinkish cobble is a plate of blueschist, I think. Background rock is plain old Cambria Slab graywacke sandstone.
