The meat of a Californian red abalone.

This red abalone was harvested on North California coast in May, 2005. An American quarter dollar coin is included in the picture to provide scale. The picture shows the meat of an abalone prepared to be cooked. The knob shape protrusion was the muscle that attached to the shell. The greenish gut that clustered between the protruded muscle and the shell has been removed.

U.S. quarter

This image has a coin in it to indicate scale.

Do not use object such as coins for scale, as they will require people unfamiliar with them to look up the dimensions or guess, both of which defeat the purpose of the object in the first place. Coins are particularly bad as they can reinforce a geographical bias.

Please photograph an object such as a ruler or add a scale marking in via an image editor instead. SI/metric units are the most commonly used worldwide (see metre, 1 E-2 m).

Examples of good practice: with (metric & imperial) ruler and with superimposed line.
Examples of bad practice: here.
A tape measure
