Nautilus Shells
Description & Fascinating Facts
The Chambered nautilus, Nautilus pompilius, reaches about 35 cm in
length. The spiral shell of the Chambered nautilus is thin and smooth with a
brown and white pattern or pearl.
Up to 30 chambers are created in the shell as the
animal increases in size and moves to occupy the outermost chamber.
The
Chambered Nautilus maintains buoyancy through a gas passed through a tube in the
shell tube called a siphuncle.
This also helps the animal stay upright in the
water. Nautilus are the last living genera of externally shelled cephalopods
Nautilus are
prolific in many parts of the world and are not considered endangered at all

Sea shells too>>
Family: Cymatiidae. This family includes some of the
largest living gastropods. Most Tritons have a hairy outer covering (periostracum)
that protects the shell. Tritons feed on other mollusks and starfish.
They
secrete a paralyzing fluid that renders their prey helpless, then insert their
mouthpart into the shell and eat the soft parts of the animal within.
They dwell
in tropical and warm waters and feature a thick and solid shell. The larger
Tritons have been used as trumpets since ancient times.
For thousands of years,
statues and pictures have shown the mythological god Triton or Neptune blowing
the Triton shell trumpets. Interestingly, the first nuclear submarine to sail
completely around the world back in 1960 was named Triton

The
Chambered Nautilus Poem
Oliver Wendell Holmes. 1809–1894
This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign
Sails the un shadowed main
The venturous bark that flings
On the sweet summer wind its purpled wings
In gulfs enchanted, where the Siren sings
And coral reefs lie bare
Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their streaming hair
Its webs of living gauze no more unfurl
Wrecked is the ship of pearl!
And every chambered cell
Where its dim dreaming life was wont to dwell
As the frail tenant shaped his growing shell
Before thee lies revealed
Its irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt unsealed!
Year after year beheld the silent toil
That spread his lustrous coil
Still, as the spiral grew
He left the past year's dwelling for the new
Stole with soft step its shining archway through
Built up its idle door
Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more
Thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee
Child of the wandering sea
Cast from her lap, forlorn!
From thy dead lips a clearer note is born
Than ever Triton blew from wreathčd horn!
While on mine ear it rings,
Through the deep caves of thought I hear a voice that sings
Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast
Till thou at length art free
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea!
Lovely and
never seen
housewarming gift idea
