Image of Austrolittorina cincta (Quoy & Gaimard 1833)
Description:
Brown periwinkle. Large numbers living about 12 metres vertically above high tide on rocks that might get splashed once a month on a clifftop on the south coast. This is the furthest from the sea I have seen a marine mollusc. Note the petrified log.
