TIL that Edgar Allen Poe wrote a book about seashells. Here’s a snapshot of rare copies of the book alongside choice specimens, on display at the Athenaeum private library in #Boston

if you’re into #mollusk 🐚 you might also enjoy reading Greet Vermeij’s autobiography “Privileged Hands”, about his career as a blind scientist studying mollusk evolution relying heavily on sense of touch

💡👀👀👀 https://thekidshouldseethis.com/post/scallop-eyes-an-innovative-new-fishing-method

“Recent studies have shown that some species of #scallop are drawn to #light, and this has resulted in an innovative new method of #fishing that is more sustainable: Instead of using a net to drag along the sea floor, fishermen can now use lobster pots equipped with little #LED lights, a bit like an #underwater disco.”

Saw #octopus was trending, and without context, I decided to post this little fella.

Two #freshwater #mussel species that live in the rivers of the eastern #UnitedStates have been listed as threatened by the #USFWS under the #EndangeredSpeciesAct.

They are the longsolid (Fusconaia subrotunda) and round hickorynut (Obovaria subrotunda).

Hello Mastadon friends,

It’s been a bit since we last connected.

Still running around the other social media sites. Really, a lot of my friends are there. And I mean that in a genuine way. For instance…
About two weeks ago, a treasured twt’r mutual said he considered me as close as a sister. And it’s true; I’ve always considered him a better part of the family I’d wished for.

Inanycase, here’s a few views from this past week.

Brown-lipped or grove #snail or simply the garden snail (Cepaea nemoralis) chewing away at a slice of carrot.

Fast movers! Brown-lipped or grove #snails or simply the garden snail (Cepaea nemoralis) walking along on a piece of #moss and #lichen covered #tree bark that sits conveniently inside a large glass jar. These things are not just fast movers but they are also quite strong. Watch out for the one coming up from underneath, pushing the entire tree bark aside to make space for the shell!

Ammonite: Index fossil that went extinct 66 million years ago when a 7.5-mile-wide asteroid slammed into Earth and killed off more than three-quarters of all species on the planet.

This is a delightful diagram from How To Know The Land Snails. Of particular note is the visual guide to surface sculpturing. #sciart #mollusk #vintageillustration #SnailsOfMastodon #snail

These scientists might be having the biggest “oh sh*t” moment of their careers as they explore the oceans of a distant world. With the arsenal of defenses this mollusk-like alien has (mimicry, stinging cerata, and a massive cloud of ink), one wonders what else might be waiting for them. 🌊🌌
