Its head is on the top, in the shadow, and kinda looks like a nudibranchia/slug head, with two black proto-eyes looking like dots. This individual had around a 15cm radius.* ![https://res.cloudinary.com/dt3d6t2ay/image/upload/v1693086206/obsidian/2023-05-13%20Epidaure%20APSAP/Mollusca/Gastropoda/Incertae%20sedis/P5160211_iw5ksq.jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/dt3d6t2ay/image/upload/v1693086206/obsidian/2023-05-13%20Epidaure%20APSAP/Mollusca/Gastropoda/Incertae%20sedis/P5160211_iw5ksq.jpg) *[126 - 2023-05-16 - Delta - Epidaurus - Greece](126%20-%202023-05-16%20-%20Delta%20-%20Epidaurus%20-%20Greece.md) - Zoom on the limit between its shell and its coat.* ## Notes ## References - https://doris.ffessm.fr/Especes/Umbraculum-umbraculum-Ombrelle-1115/(rOffset)/19 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbraculum_(gastropod)
