Pisidia Longicornis
''Pisidia longicornis'', the long-clawed porcelain crab, is a species of porcelain crab that lives in the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean. It varies from reddish to white, and grows to a carapace width of . It was first named by Carl Linnaeus in 1767, although the etymology remains unclear. Description Adult ''Pisidia longicornis'' typically have a carapace length of . Its colouration is variable, with most individuals being reddish or orange, but some having patches of pearly white, or even being entirely white. One cheliped (claw-bearing appendage) is usually larger than the other, although this difference is less pronounced in females than in males. The fifth pair of legs is reduced in size and may be difficult to see. Distribution and ecology ''Pisidia longicornis'' is found in the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean from Norway to Angola, and throughout the Mediterranean Sea. It is found from the lower shore down to depths of in the north Atlantic, but at depths of in some location ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pisidia Delagoae
Pisidia (; grc-gre, Πισιδία, ; tr, Pisidya) was a region of ancient Asia Minor located north of Pamphylia, northeast of Lycia, west of Isauria and Cilicia, and south of Phrygia, corresponding roughly to the modern-day province of Antalya in Turkey. Among Pisidia's settlements were Antioch(ia) in Pisidia, Termessos, Cremna, Sagalassos, Etenna, Neapolis, Selge, Tyriacum, Laodiceia Katakekaumene and Philomelium. Geography Although Pisidia is close to the Mediterranean Sea, the warm climate of the south cannot pass the height of the Taurus Mountains. The climate is too dry for timberland, but crop plants grow in areas provided with water from the mountains, whose annual average rainfall is c. 1000 mm on the peaks and 500 mm on the slopes. This water feeds the plateau. The Pisidian cities, mostly founded on the slopes, benefited from this fertility. The irrigated soil is very suitable for growing fruit and for husbandry.

Porcelain Crabs
Porcelain () is a ceramic material made by heating substances, generally including materials such as kaolinite, in a kiln to temperatures between . The strength and translucence of porcelain, relative to other types of pottery, arises mainly from vitrification and formation of the mineral mullite within the body at these high temperatures. Though definitions vary, porcelain can be divided into three main categories: hard-paste, soft-paste, and bone china. The category that an object belongs to depends on the composition of the paste used to make the body of the porcelain object and the firing conditions. Porcelain slowly evolved in China and was finally achieved (depending on the definition used) at some point about 2,000 to 1,200 years ago; it slowly spread to other East Asian countries, then to Europe, and eventually to the rest of the world. Its manufacturing process is more demanding than that for earthenware and stoneware, the two other main types of pottery, and it ha ...
