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
The dried shell of a sea urchin, without its prickly cover. There are many of these scattered along the beach here where I'm staying in Maine.
This was seen at the butterfly conservation reserve at Prestbury Hill Gloucestershire UK. It was a loose piece of Cotswold stone lying in the grass and then I saw the shell embedded in it.

Miller's (2,579 square feet)

This store was built in 1985. It was formerly a Happy Store Fuel Mart that became a Mobil/Miller Mart combo in 1994.
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.
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.

I know, shells again :D This one was for the course I'm doing and I quite liked it. And yes, the shells came home with me!
My policy is to take a photograph and toss them back, as I think our beach needs all the sand it can get.

Taken for Week 20/52 Weeks for Pix: Theme is 3. 3 shells from Florida Bay in Key Largo. When alive, these shells are sea snails, who live in the sea grass in Florida Bay. When I swim in the bay, I find these shells, with the snails dead. Sometimes they are inhabited by hermit crabs, who have taken over the shells. Then I put them back in the water, so that the hermit crabs live. There are usually many live sea snails- and occasionally I find these shells from the ones who have died. Much fear for what is to come of this ecosystem with the oil spill. I photograph what I love. What I love is endangered and terribly threatened right now.
Part of my 100 possibliities project, taking 100 photos of the center shell. Maybe survival is also a possiblility.
Sunset in Miami, along Biscayne Bay. Taken on my walk after work. This whole area is threatened by the oil spill. IT is still clear and beautiful- please come visit. But the oil spill effects are already in the loop current, and who knows what will be brought our way in Florida. The toxic effects of the oil spill would certainly kill all of the snails who are mostly alive who inhabit these shells. They might never recover from such a devastating hit. Let us hope that the oil spill miraculously does not affect us here in Florida.
Scientists have had many ideas how to mop up and clean the oil. Why has it taken so long to begin to act on their recommendations?

Shells, shells and more shells! I think it's a requirement if you live in Florida to have jars of shells all over your house.

The house boat crew dumped us off at some random village near Kumarakom. Right next to the dock were these piles of shells and some kind of shell grinding apparatus. Or at least that's the theory.
