Description: | Whilst the outside of this sea snail's shell is dull, the inside is beautifully shiny. This white layer is known as nacre or mother of pearl. The snail is commonly called the button top shell because the nacre was once used to make buttons. - - | Format: | text/html | License: | http://rammuseum.org.uk/legal | Publisher: | Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, Exeter City Council | Rights holder: | Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, Exeter City Council | Subjects: | Animals Natural history | Source: | Royal Albert Memorial Museum | Creator: | Not specified | Identifier: | http://rammcollections.org.uk/content/ca... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
