Description
A seashell or sea shell, also known simply as a shell, is a hard, protective outer layer usually created by an animal or organism that lives in the sea. The shell is part of the body of the animal. Empty seashells are often found washed up on beaches. The shells are empty because the animal has died and the soft parts have decomposed or been eaten by another animal.
A seashell is the exoskeleton of an an animal without a backbone or invertebrate. This exoskeleton is composed of calcium carbonate or chitin. Most shells that are found on beaches are the shells of marine mollusks because these shells are usually made of calcium carbonate, and endure better than shells made of chitin.
