Mighty molluscs of Sanibel Island


Several weeks ago we went to Sanibel Island in Florida, a mecca for shell collectors. I can't say I know a lot about shells, but they had fantastic things on the beach. On the left is a live fighting whelk, the state shell of Florida. On the right is me looking through the flotsam at some pretty cool stuff.

There is a college in Washington whose mascot is the banana slug. They call themselves "the mighty molluscs!"
