Definition - A Mollusc (or Sea Shell) is a ”sculpted” home of a large group of sea animals (sea snails), called Gastropods, of the Univalve (single shell) type. They are soft-bodied invertebrates, found washed-up on the shores of large bodies of water.  Each colorful print shows shells from at least two different angles, to show the solid outer shell side and the opposite side where the mollusc could exit.
