Modulus modulus (Linnaeus, 1758) - button snail shell, modern (latest Holocene).
The gastropods (snails & slugs) are a group of molluscs that occupy marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Most gastropods have a calcareous external shell (the snails). Some lack a shell completely, or have reduced internal shells (the slugs & sea slugs & pteropods). Most members of the Gastropoda are marine. Most marine snails are herbivores (algae grazers) or predators/carnivores.
Classification: Animalia, Mollusca, Gastropoda, Modulidae

Some shells I found on the beach were lying outside the house to dry, still amazed about the beautiful lines and colors.
A Christmas tree made of shells and left on Howe Street in Bay Head, NJ. The shells are left blank and then signed by visitors to the beach with their names and, or a message. Adorned with a starfish at the top, smaller red shells throughout the tree.
A smaller shell under a larger one that partially broke away to expose the smaller one. Probably somewhere around 100 million years old from back when Central Texas was under a shallow ocean for many millions of years. Found in a limestone layer at the bottom of McNutt Creek near the Paloma Lake Boulevard bridge. This creek has cut through a deep layer of Blackland Prairie soil to expose the limestone bedrock which forms the base of the creek.
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
Inside my greenhouse. I think this snail aestivated and then became dessicated and died.
The shell looks attractive with the low sun through it.
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.
Recently I was hooked on coconut puddings from a local Malaysian restaurant. They're not cheap and sometimes they sold out quickly. So we decided to make them at home. Turned out this is very easy to make. Now we have all the coconut puddings we want.
Ingredients:
- Agar agar powder mixture by Golden Coins
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 6 young coconuts
- Crack open top of coconuts, pour coconut water out and set aside, about 8 cups.
- Bring coconut water and coconut milk to a full boil in medium high heat.
- Pour agar agar powder mixture into boiling coconut water. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, 1 minute.
- Pour mixture into coconut shells, let cool.
- Keep refrigerated, served cold.
My policy is to take a photograph and toss them back, as I think our beach needs all the sand it can get.
