How are they made? If covered in another article, say so. - Omegatron 15:28, May 28, 2004 (UTC)
Calcium Cumbonate? I'm no scientist, but shouldn't it be calcium carbonate?
[edit] sea shell scarring
Could someone please direct me to where I can find how some seashells are scarred (holes, lines across the shell, etc). I gathered imperfect shells to illustrate their hard life in the sea and want to have the answers for my students. Do anenomes make different marks than starfish? On the east coast--what wants to eat those little mollusks?
Thank you. brazitku@aol.com
[edit] New picture
Could we add this in too? I know it has soap in it, but that is not anything we can help.

[edit] i also
I would also like to know how shells are made. I am doing a science project on them, and i would like some information. I think they are made when the creature is first born, and they gradually harden in the case of animals like crabs, but i am not sure about the kind of shell you find on the beach. I would welcome more information.Factoids123 00:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
