Rocks & Pools at Burry Holms 37 – The shallow circular depression of a limpet “home-base”. The limpet always returns home to the same place after venturing out to feed. Over time, the stone is worn down by abrasion from the limpet’s shell and by dissolution of the limestone by waste acidic metabolic products from the animal.
