And yet after it rains & I walk in #EastKilbride I see so many of their #mollusc cousins, terrestrial snails, dead & crushed by cruel human feet, because humans don't like or respect them.

@numenini.bsky.socialIn this reach of the River Little Ouse amazing drifts of #mollusc shells including Great & Keeled Ram's-Horns (Planorbarius corneus, P. carinatus), Great Pond Snail (Lymnaea stagnalis), Horny Orb-Mussel (Sphaerium corneum) & Jenkin's Spire-Snail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum). #MolluscMonday #invert
@guerrichache.pixelfed.social.ap.brid.gyI like finding new critters in nature, but I also love just finding yet another banana slug (Ariolimax columbianus). I've apparently photographed at least 360 of these little fellas.

@worldunderthewaves.bsky.socialQuite the seaside find (from several years ago). But also, ouch!!
@eurotaxonomy.cetaf.orgA new study published in European Journal of Taxonomy has revealed that deposits long thought to be Danian have been shown to date to the Maastrichtian, the final stage of the Cretaceous.
