  • An X-ray of a cone shell.
    shell-cone1blue.jpg
  • Fragment of an Abalone shell; color enhanced scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through an abalone (Haliotis sp.) shell. The shell is composed of layers of overlapping platelets of calcium carbonate crystals, or aragonite,  Between the layers are thin sheets of protein (not seen). This structure makes the shell much stronger than the materials would be in any other arrangement.  Abalones are edible mollusks found in warm seas. The thin layers of shell reflect light using the wave nature of light.  Each thin layer reflects a particular wavelength – together the layers reflect wavelengths of light that constructively interfere to create bright greens and blues. Magnification: x1000 when printed at 10 cm wide.

  • False Color X-ray of a snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina). This particular turtle is a female and is full of eggs.  This specimen was collected after it was killed by a car – look closely at the x-ray and you can see extensive shell damage as well as a number of unlaid eggs. This freshwater turtle is found in wetlands throughout North America, from southern Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. An adult can have a shell length of around 45 centimeters.  They feed on whatever they can catch in their powerful beaks, including fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and carrion.

  • A seashell was heated in a lime kiln to convert the shell material into lime.  Limelight also known as calcium light is a type of stage lighting once used in theaters.  A bright light is created when a sample of quicklime (calcium oxide). The light is produced by  incandescence.  The historic use of the light still services as someone in the public eye is still said to be ?in the limelight.? .Lime is produced by heating calcium carbonate until the extra carbon and oxygen atoms are driven off leaving just the calcium oxide.  This process is very easy and takes place in a lime kiln. Lime can be made from sea shells, chalk, and many types of rock - including marble.

  • An X-ray of two Pearl Strands.  The fake pearl strand is made from plastic and x-rays can easily pass through, while the real pearls are much denser to the x-rays and are shown at the bottom of the picture.  Real Pearls are accretions of nacre (calcium carbonate) secreted by certain oysters and mussels. The presence of a foreign body (such as a parasite or a grain of sand) within the shell triggers the secretion of nacre by the mollusk?s mantle. Thin layers are deposited on the irritant particle and, over several years, a pearl is formed.

  • Beach sand is placed in a blender to show the property of triboluminescence.   As the silica grains of sand are broken in the blender they give off blue light which in turn causes the sea shell fregments to glow yellow.  Triboluminescence is an optical phenomenon in which light is generated when asymmetrical crystalline bonds in a material are broken when that material is scratched, crushed, or rubbed.
