Caption
Circalittoral bedrock with a thin veneer of sand next to what appears to be coarse sediment. It is possible that this coarse sediment is a thicker veneer of mobile sand over bedrock. Justification for this comes from the fauna which appeared to be growing on the sediment but which must in fact be anchored to a rock substrate. Fauna includes both erect and encrusting Porifera. Flustra foliacea is common and there is a small amount of Hydroid turf. Mobile species are limited to Porania pulvillus. Unsure of biotope. Photograph poor.
