Cheilostome bryozoan
Amphiblestrum flemingii
- plastic whell hub cover 1

Species found on a plastic car wheel hub cover that was washed-up near Marazion, Cornwall. 11.01.14.

The plastic hub cover was covered in hydroids and bryozoans and had obviously been trapped on the bottom of the seabed below low water for some time.

Amphiblestrum flemingii was also found on the Saddle oyster, Pododesmus striata, which was also found on the plastic item.

The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help

people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
