There may be more to shells than you ever realised. The ones you see at the beach are just the tip of the iceberg!

about her book #InterestingShells and some of its 121 fascinating stories ππ https://t.co/Z0e8KBe0XG
Despite appearances, the argonauts, or paper nautilus, are more closely related to the octopus than to the chambered nautilus. Their shell is, in fact, not a shell at all, but a protective egg case.

The scaphopods or tusk shells are a small group of molluscs that have curved shells similar in shape to miniature elephant tusks. They do not have a head, eyes, gills, nor even a heart.

Occasionally buy the old reference copies of New Scientist from my local library (because Β£6.95 is not in my budget π). Flick one open and it falls to this page! @NHM_shells

The bivalves Xylophagaidae are mainly responsible for the degradation of wood in the deep sea, they recycle wood where there is lack of other food and transform it into a form available to other organisms #MolluscMonday #InterestingShells
Shipworms are not worms but bivalves. They are among the most destructive invertebrates in the world, causing a great deal of damage to wooden ships and waterfront structures.

The amber snail eats earthworms and sucks them up through its mouth just like we eat spaghetti. They are among the largest land snails in the world.

@NHM_shells I love your new book #InterestingShells! Whenever someone comes into my office now and asks me why I work on shells I can show them your book and ask them why they don't work on shells! An absolute inspiration! Thank you!!!
