Despite its Italian registration of I-DENR, I believe this Falcon 50 was a regular, or even based at London City Airport. This is a type I've actually been inside, but placed firmly on the ground!

German Andenkenmuschel ; souvenir shell with text :
" Erinnerung an den Weltkrieg 1914-15 , F. Mittermeier ,
Minenprahm II " , 9.5 cm
' memento of the World War 1914-15 , F. Mittermeier , mine barge 2 '
I have not found specific info on this mine barge/lighter yet except that its home port was Wilhelmshaven and it did duty on the North Sea.
there is another Andenkenmuschel made by or for
B. Griepenburg, also from Minenprahm II, on the site Europeana 1914-1918 :

I worked a lot last week and I was feeling like a bull (going and going and going) but I'm very happy because learnt tons of things... so this week I wish you to keep on learning, I think tht learn new things makes healty the mind and the body!!!
The Shell is the reinvention of the bookcase! This rotating unit was designed to literally delivery a "spin" to the any living space. Featuring 5 partitions, this cool piece adds additional storage and a hint of sophistication to any space.
A collection of snail shells I found over a summer in my lake. The collection contains many different species, though several aren't represented here. I took this photograph using a microscope scanning objective and a combination of extension tubes with my DSLR, and stacked several images of different depths together in photoshop

These 10 year olds were not put off by the idea of painting these shells without pencil first. They then used a line drawing on an acetate overlay to create an extra dimension.
Cyclonaias tuberculata (Rafinesque, 1820) - purple wartyback (CMC, Cincinnati Museum of Natural History & Science, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA)
This species is also known as Rotundaria tuberculata.
Bivalves are bilaterally symmetrical molluscs having two calcareous, asymmetrical shells (valves) - they include the clams, oysters, and scallops. In most bivalves, the two shells are mirror images of each other (the major exception is the oysters). They occur in marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments. Bivalves are also known as pelecypods and lamellibranchiates.
Bivalves are sessile, benthic organisms - they occur on or below substrates. Most of them are filter-feeders, using siphons to bring in water, filter the water for tiny particles of food, then expel the used water. The majority of bivalves are infaunal - they burrow into unlithified sediments. In hard substrate environments, some forms make borings, in which the bivalve lives. Some groups are hard substrate encrusters, using a mineral cement to attach to rocks, shells, or wood.
The fossil record of bivalves is Cambrian to Recent. They are especially common in the post-Paleozoic fossil record.
Shown here is a modern freshwater bivalve shell of Cyclonaias tuberculata. Its common name is odd - the purple wartyback.

Mussels of the Little Miami River
The Little Miami River flowing through the eastern portion of Cincinnati is a national scenic river. Of the nation's 4,000 rivers, only 165 have been honored with such a designation. A national scenic river is one that includes an "outstandingly remarkable" biologic community.
Displayed here are the 50 types of native mussels that have been recorded from the river and its tributaries. Nine of these species are no longer found in the Little Miami system due to water quality deterioration.
Water pollution has also caused the disappearance of 7 of the 113 fishes recorded from the river. With better control of soil erosion and improved treatment of sewage effluent, the missing mussel and fish species could return to the Little Miami basin.

The tusk shells or tooth shells, often referred to by the more-technical term scaphopods /ˈskæfəˌpɒd/ (Greek, "boat-footed"), are members of a class of shelled marine mollusc with worldwide distribution, and are the only class of exclusively infaunal marine molluscs. Shells of species within this class range from about 0.5 to 15 cm in length. Members of the order Dentaliida tend to be significantly larger than those of the order Gadilida..
These molluscs live in soft substrates offshore (usually not intertidally). Because of this subtidal habitat and the small size of most species, many beachcombers are unfamiliar with them; their shells are not as common or as easily visible in the beach drift as the shells of sea snails and clams.The shells of Dentalium hexagonum, a scaphopod mollusc, were strung on thread and used by the natives of the Pacific Northwest as shell money. Dentalium shells were also used to make belts and headdresses by the Natufian culture of the Middle East, and are a possible indicator of early social stratification..
Shells of the species Dentalium pretiosum were used as money..
Molecular data suggest that the scaphopods are a sister group to the cephalopods, although higher-level molluscan phylogeny remains somewhat unresolved. There is a good fossil record of scaphopods from the Mississippian onwards, making them the youngest molluscan class; but the origin of the group remains contentious.
