Living my best life by going snailing on my birthday, so here's an early #MolluskMonday . I'll need to check the literature but I believe these are Elimia perstriata (Engraved Elimia), Pleurocera canaliculata (Silty Hornsnail), and Elimia pybasii (Spring Elimia) #MolluscMonday

Some beautiful Jorunna nudibranchs for #molluscmonday #molluskmonday

For #molluskmonday straight from the Central High Atlas of Morocco 🇲🇦 #fieldwork #phdlife

#MolluskMonday and it’s a little tiny boy (goniatid, Devonian, maybe like 4mm?) and a piece of his larger goniatid brother in arms. Love those suture lines. Love that orange crinoid jammed all up in his side.

#molluskmonday A beautiful, but tiny (~1 cm) wide scallop shell in the Edisto Formation of South Carolina - 23-24 Ma.

It's #MarineMonday and our Observation of the Day is this Sharpear Enope #Squid (Ancistrocheirus lesueurii) - one of only two posted to iNat - seen in #NewZealand by pcaiger!

Gm ☕ to #MolluskMonday with a 5 finger conch shell and an eye of it!

#molluskmonday Peedee belemnites! These Cretaceous squid-like cephalopods from the Peedee Formation of SC have been used historically as international geochemical standard samples for isotopic studies (e.g. Carbon). Belemnites went extinct 66 mya at the K/Pg boundary.

#molluskmonday Beautiful example of the Neogene muricid snail Ecphora quadricostata encrusted with barnacles! This specimen is from the Pliocene (~3-5 Ma) Yorktown Formation of North Carolina.

Navanax aenigmaticus

GM ☕to #MolluskMonday Phestilla melanobrachia aeolid #nudibranch It has both black and bright orange-yellow colour forms. The colour matching the colour of the dendrophylliid coral (Tubastrea, Dendrophyllia) on which specimens are feeding on.

I don't know how to tell you guys this, but I have a confession to make.

I think molluscs are very cool!

Check out how colorful the inside of this maxima clam is... The picture doesn't do it justice. It actually looks metallic in person.

Here’s an ‘Oldie but Goodie’ bivalve, Orthonata undulata (Conrad 1841). This razor clam is from the Devonian period and was collected in Madison County, New York. #MolluscMonday #Shells #MolluskMonday
