Tide Pools of the Mendocino Coast:
Uncommon Life
Photography and Guide by Anna & Lee Gardner
To be used with:
"Tide Pools of the Mendocino Coast: a Photographic Identification Guide for the Area’s Most Common Intertidal Life" and
"Tide Pools of the Mendocino Coast: a Photographic Identification Guide Featuring 132 Intertidal Life Forms"
Still searching to identify an elusive tide pool creature?
​
​Below you will find a catalog of the Mendocino Coast's less common intertidal life;
an in-progress catalog of curious intertidal organisms not featured on one, or both, of our physical guides—and now including a section on unusual morphologies!
Did you know that some species appear in different morphologies?
(Meaning, they look physically different but are still the same species?)
​Below you will find a catalog of organisms that may already be featured on our Mendocino Coast Tide Pool Guides, but whom are known to exhibit variations in their physical appearance. The below photographed organisms may look slightly different than those pictured in our guides, but are the same species.
Still don't see what you're looking for?​
