Snow Day Shells

So today we had no school!!!!!!!!!!
YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I spent the day relaxing at home and going sledding with my friends.
While at home, I decided to do some more shell sorting, you all saw the state of my collection.
And lo and behold, I did manage to sort out a few more shells. Here they are:....

The Corrugate Jewel Box. I don't have enough info on this shell yet....

The Cayenne Keyhole Limpet.

The reason that they are called "keyhole" limpets is because the holes in the shells are shaped like keyholes.

And the Striped Falselimpet.

Limpets are gastropods that live on rocks in the tidal zone. They can move with the help of their foot and feed on algae with their tongue-like radula. The hole in the top of their shells allows the limpets to pass exhaust from their lungs, while falselimpets breathe air and are found above the tide.

 

The Antillean Nerite. As you can see it lacks "teeth" on its inner lip. This helped me distinguish it from the next shell, a Four-toothed Nerite. It is also called the Lightning Nerite. This shell can be fond in brackish water in sheltered areas.

Finally, the Four-toothed Nerite!(or Variegated Nerite)!

I know this picture isn't the best, in reality it's much easier to see this species four "teeth" on its inner left. But you can still see them if you look at the left image.

This mollusk is commonly found with the Bleeding Tooth in areas of high wave action, on expose rocks. It lays its eggs on the same rocks in dome-shaped capsules.

 

Well that's it!

See ya soon!
