Seashell by Linda Callaghan

This is an acrylic painting of a nutmeg seashell at dusk. This treasure of a shell is mainly found in tropical regions and vary in shape and size. Seashells have held a prominent place in our culture, they have been used as money, medicine, ornaments and objects of art. These natural wonders which are strewn along the beaches like jewels from the sea, are created by snails, clams, scallops and other marine mollusks. Seashells are wonders of the sea / Come let us look….take a walk with me / We will find the jewels, they are so grand / decorating the shores laying in the sand….

Sea Urchins by Mark Wilson

Sea urchins are small, spiny sea creatures of the class Echinoidea found in oceans all over the world. The name urchin is an Old English name for the round spiny hedgehogs sea urchins resemble. Their shell, which is also called the “test”, is globular in shape and covered with spines. The size of an adult test is typically from 3 to 10 cm. These urchin ‘tests’ were being sold alongside some large clam shells. Sold a Mounted Print on RedBubble to a Mystery buyer.

Nature´s Pearly Bosom by Eva and Klaus Weber-Wanjek

We bought a few beautiful shells while on Rhodes island, Greece in October 2008. I really love mother-of-pearl – it is yet another example of nature´s magic for me. / I hope nobody takes offence to this! I was playing around with the shells on a mirror and I saw this and thought if was funny and very aesthetic at the same time. Hopefully you all see the humour in it! :o) Picture taken by Eva by the way, so this is not a “man” thing!! :o) Seen through my Irish Eyes with my Pentax k20d. / / /
Chambered Nautilus by Andrew Trevor-Jones

© Copyright 2006 Andrew Trevor-Jones Chambered nautilus, Nautilus pompilius, from the Coral Sea. Nikon D70, Nikkor 18-70mm, Ikelite housing, dome port, DS50 and DS125 strobes. ISO200, 1/160s, f/16 @ 34mm Chambered nautilus have hardly changed since the time of the dinosaurs. At one time, nautilus and related cephalopods were the dominant marine predators. Nautilus are now mostly scavengers. During the day they spend their time in deep water (500-600 metres) at the base of tropical reefs. At night they move into shallower water (200-300 metres) to scavenge for food, usually the bodies of dead animals that have fallen down the reef walls. The pictured animal was captured by Underesea Explorer as part of their Nautilus Research . They trap nautilus at a site called Admiralty Anchor on the western side of Osprey Reef in the Coral Sea. The traps, baited with chicken pieces, are dropped down the reef wall to a depth of 200-300 metres (the lines are 300 metres long) and leave the traps overnight. The traps are raised the next morning and any captured nautilus are transferred to holding tanks. The tanks are chilled with plastic containers filled with ice to keep the water temperature closer to what they would experience in deep water. The researcher on board the boat measures, logs and engraves each animal and they are released that night back at the same site. The trapping and handling does not appear to have any adverse effect on the animals and Undersea frequently recapture tagged animals. The research is important in understanding the populations at Osprey Reef so they can be protected from shell collectors.

nautilus by Terry Hinkle

Sacred geometry involves sacred universal patterns used in the design of everything in our reality, most often seen in sacred architecture and sacred art. Many forms observed in nature can be related to sacred geometry. For example, the chambered nautilus grows at a constant rate and so its shell forms a logarithmic spiral to accommodate that growth without changing shape. I have always been fascinated by sacred geometry and the nautilus and am excited to finally produce a picture of one that I am proud of.
