18 seconds in front of the @SmithsonianNMNH’s #mollusk collections
From snails the size of a grain of sand to the giant squid, the phylum Mollusca can be found in nearly every ecosystem on the planet.
Did you know that 16 American states have official state shells representing a variety of marine mollusks?
The exhibition features 600 specimens and cultural items representing all 50 states, D.C., and the five U.S. territories.
