Rock Crab with a chiton - a photo on Flickriver

            Chitons (pronounced ‘kite-ons’) are enigmatic and fascinating marine invertebrates. They are known from fossils dating back at least 300 million years, and have changed little with the passing of time

Chitons belong to the phylum Mollusca (along with sea snails, sea slugs and bivalves), and are sometimes known as ‘coat-of-mail shells’, which alludes to their carapace of eight overlapping and interlocking plates that resemble the chain mail sported by knights of old. They have small heads, and a lack of tentacles and eyes means it’s not always obvious which end is which.
