THE BEAUTY OF SEA SHELL

Today, I want share about "Sea Shell", about the beauty, the story and that amazing pict. Heeee ngomongnya bergaya pakai bahasa inggris....^___^

A seashell or sea shell, also known simply as a shell, is a hard, protective outer layer created by an animal that lives in the sea. The shell is part of the body of the animal. Empty seashells are often found washed up on beaches by beachcombers. The shells are empty because the animal has died and the soft parts have been eaten by another animal or have rotted out.

The term seashell usually refers to the exoskeleton of an invertebrate (an animal without a backbone). Most shells that are found on beaches are the shells of marine mollusks, partly because many of these shells endure better than other seashells.

Apart from mollusk shells, other shells that can be found on beaches are those of barnacles, horseshoe crabs and brachiopods. Marine annelid worms in the family Serpulidae create shells which are tubes made of calcium carbonate that are cemented onto other surfaces. The shells of sea urchins are called tests, and the moulted shells of crabs and lobsters are called exuviae. While most seashells are external, some cephalopods have internal shells.

Seashells have been used by humans for many different purposes throughout history and pre-history. However, seashells are not the only kind of shells; in various habitats, there are shells from freshwater animals such as freshwater mussels and freshwater snails, and shells of land snails.

And there is one of the shells, the symbol of eternal love that's know as purple clam shells. Based on the story, purple clam shell has two parts and if we find one of the purple clam shells, it is believed that the person who found the shells of others is our eternal love. That's how the first time I know because watching a Korean drama "At The Dolphin Bay".

And here's some pictures of beautiful shells that I managed to collect from internet.
