Field notes
The page follows the familiar anatomy of a security bulletin, including an indicators-of-compromise list, a CVSS vector, and a disclosure timeline. Its examples turn ordinary beach details into incident signals: cupped hands approaching a shell, tan lines, and sandy hair. The timeline jumps from mollusks depositing shells to cowries entering the economy, keeping the technical framing attached to the material history of shells.
