Do you know how worm snail shells are formed?
Worm snail shells begin as tightly coiled shells, much like those of a typical snail. However, as they grow, the coil gradually straightens and extends, forming the elongated, worm-like shape characteristic of these snails. This process is driven by the snail's mantle, an organ that secretes calcium carbonate to build and extend the shell
How many worm snail shells do you see in this picture?
I took this picture during my visit this week to the Venice North Jetty Beach. If you love to look for shells Southwest Florida Beaches have a plethora!
