  1. A very accessible fossil! This bivalve (right) and gastropod shell impression (left) were found in Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park, just outside of Cochrane, AB.

    These were found in a sandstone boulder from the Paskapoo Formation, dating from the early Palaeocene (right after the extinction of most of the dinosaurs).

  2. Ever since my brother introduced me to sea slugs and marine flatworms, I have been captivated by their otherworldly presence and fluidity. What sea creature or plant is your fascination and why?

  7. Just because you wear a pretty shell doesn't mean you're more desirable than a slug. Please stay away from my veggies 🐌 🙏

  8. “'I personally love my milk snail, Gary,' says Gietl, who is 23 and lives in Willis, about fifty miles north of Houston. 'A lot of people don’t understand the fascination with snails or why anyone would ever have a snail as a pet, but they’re so interesting to watch. I could talk about snails forever.'” @dinagachman for Texas Monthly

  11. I haven’t been able to find any snails to photograph for snailtember so far, probably because I live in such an urban area.

    So here is a stock photo of one instead. They’re such beautiful creatures.

    Fingers crossed I’ll find snails out in the wild during my autumn walks at some point!

    If I do, I’ll let you all know. This is one of those monthly hashtags I’d love to see take off. 🐌

  12. CW: Discussion of vat-grown/cultured meat

    The podcast #gastropod did a show recently on vat-meat. My takeaways are that

    1. It's definitely getting cheaper and tastier
    2. But a lot of companies are still ignoring the importance of fat as a flavor factor
    3. It's not scalable at ALL yet, partially due to the cost (normal meat is still heavily subsidized in the US so it's harder to compete with) and the hardware, giant bio-reactors, don't exist yet at the scales necessary for decent production.
    4. There's chicken, pork, beef, and fish in the works. Fish sounds the hardest, since it's delicate, especially for fish intended to be eaten raw.
    5. Cultured bacon looks like a flag, perfectly symmetrical stripes. Probably a good sign of the oddity we'll have to work past to eat this stuff.
    6. It would be way better for everyone if we just ate beans instead of meat, but everyone working on this problem acknowledges that won't happen.

  13. Ash-black slug (Limax cinereoniger). Easily the largest slug I've ever seen but I gather they get much bigger, maxing out near 30 cm. Ravenna Gorge, Breitnau, Germany. #slug #gastropod #limacidae #nature #schnegel

  18. Chibi has officially gotten bigger than Niles; she was much more active during the heat wave (at least at night) and has been eating a lot of the food I leave for them. #snail #snails #pets #petSnail #petSnails #photography #photo #gastropod #SnailSunday #SnailPosting
