A world of fascination and Beauty Vol. 4:
Carrier Shells
Garbage collectors of the oceans

K. Kreipl & F. Lorenz

This book is a portrait of the Gastropod family Xenophoridae, a family of marine snails with the peculiar behavior of attaching foreign objects to their shells.

Carrier shells have inhabited the sea floors of tropical and subtropical oceans for eons, recycling empty shells of molluscs, as well as pieces of dead corals, stones, sunken wood, coal, and even the teeth shed by sharks. Only very recently, broken glass, coins, bottle caps, can openers, and pieces of plastic appeared in their environments: things produced and dumped in the sea by man.

These publications generated with the support of the Molluscan Science Foundation are distributed through the publishers ConchBooks, Germany
