Venus Comb Shell


So named after the Roman Goddess who was said to comb her hair with this unusual shell.
 
Resembling the skeleton of a fish, no one knows the exact reason for the needle-like spines of this mollusc. Scientists have theorized that the spines are a protection against fish and other molluscs, and that the spines prevent it from sinking into the soft, sandy mud where it is commonly found. (Murex Pecten). Common to the Indo-Pacific region.
