We tend to think of seashells as inanimate objects scattered across sandy beaches at the sea’s edge. But each of those shells were living animals, or mollusks. Their life stories can be unexpected, telling and surprisingly varied. From sea to shore to desert to backyard garden, mollusks can be found more places than you might imagine.

There will also be a whole lot of beautiful shells.
