Something different for #molluscmonday !

A pencil drawing on white paper: The tenting pattern of a cone snail is depicted. Wavy lines varying in colour from black to brick red and light brown outline the 'tents' against the white background. Two deep orange regions (forming vertical columns) are interrupted by thick black bands (the typical colouration/pattern found on most members of the Cylinder subgenus).
Just completed!

`Unique phenomena are important in history but are difficult to study because they resist categorization and are therefore unpredictable. To examine the timing and circumstances of unique evolutionary events, we identified traits that evolved only once in the highly diverse phylum Mollusca as […]
A #mollusc of spectacular beauty!
Just started another one...
This one is based on a cone, again.

A colour drawing based on the pattern found on the cone snail, Conus arenatus. Various markings (varying in colour from black, various browns and brick red) cover a white background. Some darker areas are grey-blue. The markings combine to form wave-like arrangements.
Just completed!

New WIP! I have never drawn this type of seashell pattern (from Conus arenatus) before.

Climate change will impact #mariculture, for both #mollusc and #finfish species, on Canada’s coasts, strategic changes in production, policy, infrastructure, and spatial planning could turn many of these challenges into opportunities. oceans.ubc.ca/2025/12/08/o... @ubccoru.bsky.social

Happy December, and happy Mollusc Monday! Did you know that in English folklore ammonites were called snakeshells due to their coiled shells?

I don’t quite know why we are #snailposting today but it seems to ba a ‘thing’ so here goes:

I haven’t seen them often so I was excited to see this little they/them moving across a limestone quarry.

Rear view of green banana slug eating what might be an acorn. Its little eye stalks are fully extended
Same slug from the front. I believe I got it “biting” the acorn. Or whatever it is.
Different banana slug eating a mushroom
Another angle of same slug nomming same mushroom
I never liked the word “nom”. But it was the only thing in my head watching these banana slugs eating. Not sure what the brown thing is, maybe an acorn; the mushroom is likely what’s left of a Deathcap. 🐌🍄🟫 📷🍄 #invertebrate #BsnanaSlug #Mollusc
An overview of Epitonium clathrus. Left: From the side with the aperture visible Top: From the apex Bottom: From the bottom Right: From the side, with the aperture facing away In the bottom right corner there is text with a scale bar and species name. The shell itself is white with a tall spire and 7 whorls in total. Notably, the shell has evenly spaced ribs that go from the bottom all the way to the tip.
New shell pic! Epitonium clathrus. I love the spiral pattern from the apex-view! It sort of reminds me of romansco (fractal) broccoli. :D
