A sampling of echinoderms collected from around...

Hello! My name is Collin. I'm a student at the University of Washington, studying ecology, conservation, and evolutionary biology (minoring in marine biology). I like marine invertebrates, skeletons of all shapes and sizes, macroalgae, 20th century classical music, and carnivorous plants.
Please read the captions on my posts before reblogging them; some posts can only be fully understood with their captions, and in certain cases, have very different meanings without them. Needless to say, please don't delete source info, scientific names, etc. on anything I post!

Photos, art, and sculpture tagged "personal" were made by me.

Crossaster papposus

Parastichopus californicus

Florometra sp.

Pteraster tesselatus

Solaster dawsoni

Henricia leviuscula

Evasterias troschellii

A sampling of echinoderms collected from around San Juan Island. I didn’t include the sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis, S. franciscanus, S. pallidus) because they were too hard to draw. >_>
