Unknown egg mass from Turkey
October 8, 2002
From: Erwin Koehler
Dear Bill,
attached are 2 shots of an unknown egg-mass from my recent trip to Kas, Turkey. I'd like to say they are from a seahare, but they look similar to the eggs-masses of Bulla ampulla from the Philippines. I found dozens of these egg-masses, but no seahare nor something else larger enough.
data:
size approx. 12 cm
depth 10-15 m,
date 19 Sept. 2002
divesite "Oasis"

Koehler, E. , 2002 (Oct 8) Unknown egg mass from Turkey. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/8121Dear Erwin,
Certainly looks like a sea hare or some cephalaspidean. The eggs seem much larger than those in your photos of Bulla ampulla from the Philippines. Perhaps Baki Yokes will recognise it
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
