EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 18th-century encyclopedia showcases a mesmerizing array of shell forms. As we delve into the intricate world of marine gastropod molluscs, we discover the remarkable diversity in their protective coverings. The majority of sea snails possess beautifully spirally coiled shells, while others boast conical structures known as limpets. In this illustration, we are treated to a visual feast featuring various shell types. Limpets, with their distinctively shaped shells resembling miniature mountains, stand alongside cochlea and dentalium or dentalia shells that exhibit an elegant elongated form. The iconic nautilus shell takes center stage with its logarithmic spiral pattern evoking a sense of mathematical perfection. The composition also includes voluta and turbinidae shells showcasing exquisite patterns and textures reminiscent of delicate artwork crafted by nature's hand. Lastly, cylindrical shells add another dimension to this stunning display of biodiversity. As we admire this historical depiction captured by DAVID PARKER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, it serves as a reminder of the sheer beauty and complexity found within our oceans' depths.
