I thought these were fossils!

As a kid I used to see these by the hundreds.....prehistoric looking little buggers....

Isopod, and a scary huge one at that! This is what my childhood nightmares looked like, lol

WOW! Definitely NOT an Isopod! Most definitely a Chiton

They do look very prehistoric! So much that I thought they were initially fossils..till I pried one off and realized it was very much alive..then I felt bad, but lesson learned I guess.

Thanks for the identification!

Cheers
