Thanks you lot!!

Lil cuties doin their briney thing : )

I saw some fine gigantic clam shells uncovered in vanuatu on a hill which were approx 5000 years old and still in good condition!

And then realised a melbourne university I work on had limestone (Miocene I think) 19 million years old & astonishingly fossiliferous- what a legacy for these lil guys!

I love the bit about warty-necked piddocks boring into rock; I wish I could put them next to, say, steel or lead, and wait a few hundred thousand generations, and see how strong they can get.

Thanks for writing this, will have to read again later to thoroughly absorb it too!
