Description
This is another of the sea shells I collected from a recent trip to the ocean that had washed up on an island from a storm. The image was taken while the water was washing ashore and the sea foam surrounds it and reflects different colors from the light hitting it. This is cropped to a square format and is the same size as the other spiral image in tan. I also have these shots I can upload in a longer version, just contact me and will upload them for you.
A seashell or sea shell, also known simply as a shell, is a hard, protective outer layer created by an animal that lives in the sea. The shell is part of the body of the animal. Empty seashells are often found washed up on beaches by beachcombers. The shells are empty because the animal has died and the soft parts have been eaten by another animal or have rotted out.
The term seashell usually refers to the exoskeleton of an invertebrate (an animal without a backbone). Most shells that are found on beaches are the shells of marine mollusks, partly because many of these shells endure better than other seashells.
