Time to spread the looooooove.
Here's my attempt at it:
It's a "Cockle"-doodle-doo heart.
Made out of Atlantic Giant Cockles!
Now, to go back to my first "real" post; all cockles are bivalves. So they have two hinged shells that keep the mollusk inside. Atlantic Giant Cockles are found anywhere from Virginia to Texas. It is the largest cockle shell on the East Coast.
This here shell, is a Prickly Cockle. If you look really closely than you can see tiny spines, toward the outer ribs of the shells.
Finally, the last shell that I want to introduce today is the Yellow Cockle. It is similar to the Prickly Cockle because it also has spines but, it differs in shape (it's more circular) and color ( the Yellow Cockle is more yellowish, than the Prickly Cockle).
Now for an overview, the above picture has all three cockles.
From left to right: the Atlantic Giant Cockle, the Prickly Cockle and the Yellow Cockle.
Well that's all for today,
Yaroslava :D
P.S. If any of you ever thinks that I made a mistake in identifying a seashell, please, please, please message me!
Thanks!
