EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Matthew Ward from Universal Images Group (UIG) showcases the intricate beauty of a Hexaplex radix, also known as a radish murex shell. The massive and heavy shell features small pointed spires that add an element of elegance to its overall appearance. The white and cream body whorls are adorned with dark brown spines, giving the shell a prickly and intriguing look. In this studio shot, the corrugated texture of the shell is highlighted, emphasizing its unique characteristics. As we explore this image further, we can appreciate the remarkable details found in molluscs such as gastropods. These invertebrates possess stunning whorls on their shells that serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. The underside of this seashell reveals more about its classification within the muricidae family – marine snails renowned for their striking appearances. Known specifically as radish murex or hexaplex radix, this species exemplifies nature's ability to create extraordinary designs. Matthew Ward's photograph captures not only the physical attributes but also sparks our curiosity about these fascinating creatures living beneath ocean waves. Let us immerse ourselves in admiration for these wonders of nature while appreciating their existence beyond commercial use.
