These two tiny beads, placed on either side of a shell bead, were found during an archaeological survey in Arizona. We see a lot of marine goods from the Gulf of California, namely shells. We are assuming these are also marine in origin but have been unsuccessful in identifying them. Any assistance would be wonderful.

It should go without saying but they were left where found and the survey was conducted by the appropriate land management agency.

These beads were found during an archaeological survey in Arizona, likely sourced from a marine creature from the Gulf of California. Our archaeologists are stumped. Any ideas?

Did dude just hi five a dolphin 🐬🤣

This is the Pacific Viperfish, AKA Chauliodus macouni. It resides in the deep seas of North Pacific Ocean and feeds on small crustaceans and fishes. Fun fact: its relatives are dragonfishes (its own predator!), loosejaws, and hatchetfishes. Viperfish glows in the dark with its bioluminescent skills and has photophores on its body to camouflage. This fish is most famous for its scary front fangs that forms a cage to trap the prey that is engulfed by the fish’s wide mouth. 
Despite its scary appearance, the viperfish is only about 15-25 centimeters long and weighs about 23 grams. They are still known as one of the fiercest predators of the ocean though!

Species Spotlight - Spiral wrack (Fucus spiralis)

Educational video about Spiral wrack (Fucus spiralis)

Leopard Shark researcher- Dr. Andrew Nosal - is studying this very question. 

His leading hypothesis is that the sharks do this to shrug off parasites. He is currently investigating the parasites (called copepods) he finds on the La Jolla population of Leopard sharks. He also documents, through aerial drone surveys, specific characteristics of the behavior (such as frequency and group dynamics.)

No picture unfortunately. but I remember a couple years ago I was on vacation in the Caribbean and found this egg-sac looking thing in the shallow water. It looked like a clear gel ball that had white fuzz on it. I poked it with a stick and it didn’t break or move. No stinging but it was very flexible.

Found off the coast of Santa Monica. Jelly like and fluid filled. The red bit inside is tethered but moves around. It was like a tiny egg without a shell
