Description
Shell Life on the Seashore by Philip Street is an in-depth guide to the fascinating world of seashells. First published in 1961, this reissued edition features a new foreword and an illustrated fold-out guide to help identify shells. The book delves into the secret lives of marine creatures that once inhabited these shells, revealing the unique challenges they faced in their watery habitats. From barnacles to oysters, cockles to sea slugs, Mr Street's informative guide covers a wide range of species, including lesser-known members of the octopus family. This book is ideal for anyone interested in recognizing and collecting seashells, as well as learning about the marine creatures that once called them home.
