Shells are created by (and attached to) soft-bodied mollusks like clams, scallops, oysters, sea snails. The mollusk absorbs minerals from the ocean, then secretes layers of calcium carbonate with proteins to build its shell bigger and stronger as it grows. The shell is what protects the mollusk. When the mollusk dies, the empty shell is left behind and will no longer grow. #seashells #lightningwhelk | Let's Go Shelling

Rebecca - Sea Life Lover & Educator on Instagram: "Sea shells are created and formed by animals! They’re usually created by soft-bodied mollusks who need their shells to protect their soft bodies. The animal secretes calcium carbonate which then hardens on the outside of their bodies and forms their shell. When the animal passes away, it leaves behind sea shells.

Ever wondered who actually makes a seashell? Shells aren’t just found on the beach, they’re built by the animal living inside. The animal doesn’t just live in the shell, it creates it! That’s why smaller shells usually belong to younger creatures, while the big ones are older creatures. Pretty cool, right?! The way God created nature is amazing! 🐚💫🤍 | Lawren Bagley

Where do seashells come from? [VID: Where do seashells come from? The shells you find on the beach were once home to small, soft-bodied creatures called mollusks. Clams, scallops, mussels and oysters are examples of mollusks. Mollusks live by absorbing salts and chemicals from the seawater around them. As they process these materials, they secrete calcium carbonate. This chemical solidifies outside of their body and gradually forms a hard outer shell. The shell is attached to the mollusk but is
