@wwbic1 @ProjectSeagrass @AmgueddfaCymru @BangorUni @North_Wales_WT The team finished the #MarineTaxonomyRoadshow on a high with @MolluscAnna hosting a day of bivalve shell identification at Treborth. The volunteers of @North_Wales_WT increased their understanding and confidence in mollusc identification & it was a great way to finish the tour

Just a few cone shells from the collections of @Museum_Cardiff. These shells may look beautiful, but that beauty masks a deadly secret! Cone shells are venomous and predatory! #Danger #Museum30
