Concha blanca con un "gusano" largo enroscado.
La broma (Teredo navalis) es un molusco bivalvo marino resistente a amplios rangos de salinidad, temperatura y ausencia de oxígeno. Debido a su dieta de madera sumergida y a su forma alargada, es llamado gusano de los barcos. 📷Servicio Geológico de los Estados Unidos #Mollusca
