Beautiful Shells
In 1811, architect, stone mason and shell obsessive George Perry published a lavishly illustrated volume, his Conchology or the Natural History of Shells, featuring 348 beautifully illustrated mollusc shells with descriptions of species, many of which were new to science. Despite the effort that went into producing the work, at a time when ‘conchophilia’, or shell fancying, was at its height, Perry’s Conchology all but disappeared without a trace in the scientific literature, apparently actively suppressed by the leading conchologists of the day and then cruelly mocked for decades afterwards. This book reproduces the stunning, exquisitely drawn and sometimes fanciful shell illustrations from this extraordinary forgotten volume.Following an introduction exploring our fascination with shells and their impact on human history, culture and science, each of the sixty-one colour plates is included alongside a description of notable shells and what is known of the mysterious organisms that make them.From the common limpet and razor clam to the valuable cowry and spectacular divine conch, the wide range of shells featured form a treasure trove of natural beauty from our oceans and shores.

Types of shells
There are several types of shells found in nature, including gastropod shells, bivalve shells, and cephalopod shells. Gastropod shells are typically coiled and are the protective outer layer of snails and slugs. Bivalve shells are hinged and include clams, oysters, and mussels. Cephalopod shells, such as those of nautiluses, are chambered and provide buoyancy and protection for the animal. Each type of shell has unique characteristics and serves different functions for the organisms that possess them.

These classifications can include categories such as gastropods, bivalves, cephalopods, and scaphopods.

Can snail shells grow back?
No, snail shells cannot grow back. The shell of a snail is a part of its body and is made of calcium carbonate. If a snail's shell is damaged or broken, it cannot regenerate or repair itself. However, the snail can continue to grow and add new layers to its shell as it gets bigger.

Are shells suitable for dogs?
Shells can be suitable for dogs as long as they are properly prepared and served in moderation. Some shells, like eggshells, can provide calcium and other nutrients beneficial for dogs. However, it is important to ensure that the shells are clean, finely ground, and free from any sharp edges that could harm the dog's digestive system. It is always best to consult with a veterinarian before introducing any new food items to your dog's diet.
