The Eccentric Sand Dollar (Dendraster excentricus) is a cousin of sea urchins and sea cucumbers. It uses tiny spines to scoot along or burrow into the sand. The photo shows its exoskeleton — the smooth, patterned “shell” you might find washed up on the beach.

Found the world’s smallest #sanddollar. Too bad it has a hole. Never seen one this small, it’s probably not even a centimeter. #oregoncoast #nature #science #beach
It’s Friday! That’s the day I read a book with all of the children at the Wheels Skating Center who would like to - reading books aloud with people is one of the happiest things I get to do! I hope they like it. #davysanddollar #SuzanneTate #JamesMelvin #readingaloud #sanddollar #outerbanks
At the #SandDollar in downtown #LasVegas. My in-laws are performing some jazz standards... Summer if the songs even meander into blues jams. This is classic Vegas. This is the city I was born in.

I made a wish upon a (sea) star, and then gave it back to the ocean.
