Jellyfish?
My daughter and I were playing by the lake and saw this white thing in the rocks. We fished it out and took pics. Anybody have an idea of what this might be?? When the whole thing was immersed the one end looked like jellyfish tendrils but the bulbous part was too firm to be a jellyfish... It's about 5" long and 2" in diameter.

Looks like a geoduck.

Re: Jellyfish?
Have you contacted the UBC science department yet? Because if this is a new thing in OK Lake, someone should know if it's an invasive species or not.

I just googled and found they are salt water species. But it definitely looks like one.oneh2obabe wrote:Looks like a geoduck.

Might give Fisheries & Oceans a call - there's an office in Kamloops:
250-851-4950
Cool find if it is a geoduck.

Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?

Re: Jellyfish?
OP says it's five inches long, so how can that be a thumb? And the RCMP would have to see it for human DNA testing.

Re: Jellyfish?
Well it looks like an animal of some kind, or perhaps a huge egg sac. There are no eyes but it doesn't look like a plant. But if it is an animal, it's dead. I emailed the Biology department of UBCO so we'll see what they say. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Re: Jellyfish?
If you zoom in on the picture, it appears to be some kind if egg sac.
