While walking to our field site at Mt. Hope Farm in Bristol, RI on Friday, we found this jelly-like egg mass washed up in the high intertidal. I don't know if it is indeed an egg mass or what type of organism it belongs to. The photos capture it fairly well - it was nearly two feet in diameter, and made of many translucent, nodular strings. Anyone have any ideas?

URI scientist, Brad Seibel, let me know that these do indeed look like squid eggs of the common squid on this coast, Doryteuthis pealei (formerly a Loligo sp.).
