This display in the Shell Musem shows how the bivalve clams and cockles use their foot to dig into the sand and their siphons to filter food particles from the water.

A display of a buried Pen Shell (left) and Dosina at the Shell Museum. The Pen shell uses the brown "byssal threads" to attach itself in the sand.

The Shell Museum had "Sailor's Valentines" on display. These spectacular shell crafts were originally made by the wives and sweethearts of sailors while they were on long voyages at sea. The women must have had incredible patience to put such detail into these beautiful pieces made from nothing but seashells!
