I love this so much!
At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

I see you!
A curious conch peeks out from under it's shell. Also spotted, the tiniest crab... I think... or maybe Limpet? What do you think it is?

Knowing that the earliest form of art in human and pre-human history could be an Indonesian shell that some Homo erectus dude engraved with zigzags 500,000 years ago definitely satisfies the shell nerd in me.

Nudibranchs live in the deep-sea! This one called Tritonia, observed on Giacomini Seamount at 756 m by #Okeanos Explorer a few days ago!

It's the first #MolluskMonday of 2026! Sticking with the Cretaceous, we have a nautiloid from the Pierre shale of South Dakota. This was deposited in deep waters of the Cretaceous Interior Seaway, which divided North America into Appalachia and Laramidia. ⚒️🧪

Photoshopping @lastweektonight.com's John Oliver onto fossils until the Paleontological Research Institution secures their funding: EFFORTPOST EDITION!
John wants to know, where are all the squid fossils? Let's find out! 🦑
Specimen is the internal shell of the squid Spirula spirula (PRI 70572).

1/ Homing is a widespread animal behaviour and uses lots of different mechanisms : magnetoreception for migrating birds, time-compensated sun compass for monarch butterfly...
But one animal's homing ability remains unexplained after 60+ years of research: the limpet.
