Doliolids in Bodega Bay, CA

Description and Comments

Millions(?) of doliolids, perhaps Dolioletta gegenbauri, washing up on Salmon Creek Beach in Bodega Bay, California. There were so many it gave the tide line a purplish hue! The photo shows what they looked like when washed up on the sand. Addendum: I changed the picture to show one individual under the microscope.
