Just a mish-mash of shells for #molluscmonday ! This is my only chaotic display cabinet. #mollusk #invertebrate #seashell #gastropod #collection #marinelife #naturalhistory

This is period 4 of last game... non-stop turnovers. #GoHabsGo

Wooden textures and perfect geometry. This sculpture carved from limewood by Verginer Matthias is amazing. Space 98x69x49cm (girl in 1/2 life size) limewood, pencil 2025

I was going through some papers and came upon a New Scientist issue from exactly 32 years ago! I designed/made from pretty funky molecules back then! #ChemSky #photochromes

This #molluscmonday post is brought to you by the genus Cribrarula (a name I have a great deal of trouble pronouncing)! These cowries are such pretty shells. #mollusk #invertebrate #seashell #gastropod #collection #marinelife #naturalhistory

My first gardening post of the year. It hasn't been the usual early spring here in Montreal. I will need to prune my Prunus after the flowers die. 🌱🌿

Once AGAIN, thank you hockey gods!!! #GoHabsGo

A new addition for #molluscmonday ! Jourdan's Turban (Turbo jourdani) is a very large gastropod native to South Africa. This specimen is 206 mm in size. The species can grow even larger. #mollusk #invertebrate #seashell #gastropod #collection #marinelife #naturalhistory

🤣🤣😂

#molluscmonday ! The Golden Cowrie (Callistocypraea aurantium) is a large and striking shell. Once considered very rare, relatively large numbers are now found in the Philippines. The largest shown here is 96 mm in length. #mollusk #invertebrate #gastropod #collection #marinelife #naturalhistory

#molluscmonday ! Tiger Cowries are one of the most common seashells. Still, some local varieties are hard to come by. This is a Cypraea tigris pardalis f. incaha from New Caledonia which is prized for its pale yellow colour. #mollusk #invertebrate #gastropod #collection #marinelife #naturalhistory

I like that list...

A new arrival for #molluscmonday ! The Magnificent Cowrie (Cribrarula exmouthensis magnifica) is a rare subspecies found off West Australia. This beauty measures 30 mm in length. #mollusk #invertebrate #gastropod #collection #marinelife #naturalhistory

Great crowd. I really didn't like the officiating...too many soft penalties... let the teams play! Too bad we blew the lead. #GoHabsGo

I found this used brush/paint cabinet online. It cleaned up nicely and is proving itself perfect for my Olives and Pectenidae. #mollusk #seashell #sciart #invertebrate #gastropod #collection #naturalhistory

New work completed! "Moitié Moitié" pencil on paper (22" x 30") - based on the pattern of a Conus archiepiscopus. The title (French) translates to 'half-half'. (some details in comments) #art #artist #fineart #mollusc #contemporaryart #canadianart #drawing #seashell #sciart #pattern

G is for Geode. And that's good enough for me.

Great game! We're headed to the top of the East!

#molluscmonday ! Textilia is a gorgeous subgenus of the Cone family which includes many sought-after rarities. #mollusk #seashell #sciart #invertebrate #gastropod

Compared to continental ones, only a few #marine species are considered #extinct. Now we have one more, the #snail Conus lugubris from São Vicente Island (Cape Verde Archipelago). This species had a very restricted range now lost to "development". www.iucnredlist.org/species/1922...

Our #1 !!!

Some Murex for #molluscmonday ! A few members of the genus Hexaplex. #mollusk #seashell #invertebrate #mollusc

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

#molluscmonday I received an old collection of worldwide Naticidae from Italy. It's always rewarding to go from a chaotic mess to relative order. I will have to change many of the labels, though... #mollusk #seashell #invertebrate #collection

#molluscmonday Here are a few photos of my mollusk collection! Are there any other shell collectors here? #mollusk #seashell #invertebrate #collection

Late afternoon shadows...

Great news. I still remember learning (first-year biology class) that HeLa cells came from a woman named Helen Lafayette...
