  1. My brother and partner were visiting Marcos island in Florida on their sail kayaking adventure and took a picture of this very cute mollusk

    “I’m looking at you!”

    It looks like what I call a cone shell but I’m not sure.

    Update from comment:

    “It is a Florida Fighting Conch. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strombus

  2. 🌊🐚 Scientists teamed up with YouTuber Ze Frank to let the public name a bizarre new species of deep-sea #chiton found over 5,000 meters down.

    The winner? Ferreiraella populi – the "chiton of the people." The strange #mollusk lives exclusively on sunken wood and carries a tiny community of worms near its tail.

  3. Trilobite lovers, meet the blue green chiton! Though it resembles some trilobites, this critter is actually a #mollusk that inhabits waters around Australia & New Zealand. Growing about 1.4 in (3.5 cm) long, this nocturnal critter can roll into a ball when threatened or disturbed.

  4. Shell design carved from limestone containing fossilized shells. Nice. From a well at a residence that is now Les Musées Gadagne, Lyon, France. #limestone #shells #bivalves #stones #mollusc #mollusk #architecture #art #gadagne #lyon #france #travel

  5. Found a tiny (approx 3 mm) snail cruising around on a cantaloupe in my garden. Possibly an invasive graceful awlsnail (Allopeas gracile) but waiting for an expert to weigh in on iNaturalist. Currently no "Research Grade" observations in Pennsylvania. #snail #mollusk #mollusc #nature #inaturalist #invasive #malacology #pennsylvania #macrophotography inaturalist.org/observations/3

  6. A very cool study using #clumped #isotope measurements in #oyster shells from the Early #Cretaceous showing high and variable #seasonality in response to climate changes caused by atmospheric #CO2 shifts. #mollusk shells again demonstrated as useful climate archives!

  7. Today I went to see the rarest snails in the world. These critically endangered mollusks exist only in a little pond in Banff. Since it's a sulphur hot spring, the whole area smells of snail farts.

    In other news, I sold another poem.

  9. During my trip to Prince Edward Island last week I learned that some restaurants don't sever the adductor muscles on oysters. Apparently they want customers to be confident that the oysters are actually from that shell. Not sure how widespread that practice is, but one person said it was a "French thing." #oysters #bivalve #mollusk #food #restaurant #pei #PrinceEdwardIsland

  10. 🫀💗🐌 This might be what a baby snail’s beating heart looks like! Here is a timelapse video.

  11. Lovely to be invited by Roos Ettema for a @vuamsterdam podcast to talk about the 2x award-winning SLABx3D teaching innovation and much more. You can now listen to my interview with Sem Barendse on Spotify (in Dutch)!

  13. Researchers uncover 500 million-year-old #mollusk ancestor phys.org/news/2024-08-uncover-

    A #Cambrian spiny stem mollusk and the deep homology of lophotrochozoan scleritomes science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc

    The new #fossil, called Shishania aculeata, reveals that the most primitive #mollusks were flat, shell-less slugs covered in a protective spiny armor.

  14. 🌱☘️🌿 Adventures of a baby snail called Rainbow🌈 as “Robinson Crusoe” - stranded on an island, surrounded by water.

    Added some calcium carbonate (similar to chicken egg shell) for nutrition.

    150 frames captured at 30-second intervals. Played back at 15 frames per second! 🐌🐚

  16. #mollusk evolution hot take:

    I'm gonna guess that #Kimberella, the mobile whooping cushion of the #Ediacaran seafloor, was not a mollusk but probably closely ancestral to mollusks. (or at least closely related to something ancestral to mollusk)

    It's kind of snail-like and probably had a lick-ey tongue, but it doesn't look like it has the crunchy shell that the original mollusk was projected to have, and I guess the tongue was not quite snail like.

    “Recent studies have shown that some species of #scallop are drawn to #light, and this has resulted in an innovative new method of #fishing that is more sustainable: Instead of using a net to drag along the sea floor, fishermen can now use lobster pots equipped with little #LED lights, a bit like an #underwater disco.”
