    Hi Gaywynn, Its great to see your name show back up in our dataset! Thanks so much for taking the time to do a Molt Search! It sure is a treat to see such a high diversity of species from a single swath of shore. I see one stray Dungeness (with its flatter rostrum between the eyes and wide 10th tooth–farthest to your right) made it into your pile of red rock crabs, so I’ve adjusted your report count to match. Otherwise, all looks perfect, including that small view of the calipers for scale that helps us make the most of your report in the dataset. I hope it was a nice time out on the shore! – Lisa
