The eldest Oyster looked at him,
But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
And shook his heavy head —
Meaning to say he did not choose
To leave the oyster bed.” — Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass.
Oysters have been on Earth for over 200 million years. They are my favourite food. Nicolette Stasko describes them as “ beautifully compact and concise with no extraneous decoration or superfluousness.” (Oyster, 2000, Harper Collins Publishers).
These examples are early Cretaceous from the Isle of Purbeck. I was introduced to them last September whilst exploring in Dorset.
