Data: Hello, I wanted to send you this picture of this specimen I've found, as I'm not sure if it's a Chiton or not.
I'm not a doctor or scientist, but being that I found this "odd" and don't know what it is, I'm wondering if you can help.
I'm pointing to the underside of this with a needle. This specimen is approx. 1/8 - 1/4 inch in total length.
Thank you,

Hello again, I've turned the specimen on it's side. It appears to have cilia only on the one side of it.

This is the same specimen again, but I've laid "table salt granules" next to the specimen for a scale of it's size.
PS...does this look like a Chiton to you? Thank you for any help you might be able to shed on this 'mystery' of what this thing is

Hello, this is the same specimen after it's been in a vial with rubbing alcohol for a week.
Please disregard my "drawing on the picture" as I have no clue. I was only "assuming" but I am only a housewife without education in this area.

• I am almost positive that this is not a chiton. It lacks the 8 plated shell and it has cilia. A possibility would be a flat worm? ...Avril B.
