This week The Mini Page previews seashells and their mollusk relatives. It explains how shells form from minerals secreted by a mantle, how growth rings indicate age, why colors vary with diet and growth rate, and differences between single shelled snails and two shelled bivalves like clams and oysters.
Shellfish use a strawlike siphon to pull water across gills for breathing and feeding. Some host algae that make energy from sunlight, sharing it with the shellfish. Bivalves open to feed and breathe, close when threatened or during low tide to avoid drying out, then reopen when water returns.
Do not remove shells that harbor living animals as all living things matter to the environment. Some shellfish can sting and cone shells possess a venomous harpoon that paralyzes prey. People may have serious reactions to stings, so handle with care.
At the library visitors can explore Seashells More Than a Home by Melissa Stewart and Seashells and Beachcombing for Kids by Stephanie Paulasigui and Erika Zambello vy. The library displays highlight marine finds and reading options.
