Shells are a common sight at the seaside. This seashells guide is perfect to take with you when walking along the beach or coastline. Great places to hunt for seashells include the strandline, beaches close to river estuaries and bottom of the beach at low tide. Alternatively, if you just want to learn more about seashells, this guide is just the place to start!
The animals that produce the seashells featured on this guide are all molluscs. This group of animals includes snails, slugs, mussels, octopus and squid. As a group, molluscs have no skeleton, so some produce a hard external shell for protection. Shell-bearing molluscs can be divided into two major groups: gastropods and bivalves.
Bivalves featured on the seashells guide include mussels, cockles, scallops, razor shells, oysters, venus shells and others. The gastropods include topshells, periwinkles, limpets, cowries and whelks.
Our popular seashell field guide measures 24.5cmx17.5cm and is extremely lightweight and compact, and the perfect shell identification chart for popping in your bag when heading to the coast. All wildlife identification guides are laminated, meaning they are showerproof for use outside. and can be wiped clean.
