EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of true tulip shells, scientifically known as Fasciolaria tulipa. Against a striking black background, these carnivorous gastropods stand out with their pointed and intricately spiraled shells. The true tulip is closely related to the majestic horse conch and belongs to the fascinating world of aquatic invertebrates. The mottled pattern on these duo shells adds an element of natural beauty, while their cut-out presentation allows us to appreciate every detail. As specimens from the biological realm, they offer insights into the field of zoology and molluscan biology. These neogastropoda creatures are part of the drilliidae family, making them remarkable examples of wildlife found in our oceans. Their predatory nature highlights their carnivorous tendencies within the animal kingdom. Displayed by NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM, LONDON/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print captures not only the aesthetic appeal but also serves as an educational tool for those interested in zoological studies or simply appreciating nature's wonders. It reminds us that even within seemingly ordinary objects like shells lie extraordinary stories waiting to be explored.
