In July, our monthly theme is Seashells.
Based on the alphabet, let’s find words associated with shells, shellfish, places to pick them, crafts we can make with them, names of beaches, and more. It might be a little challenging, but with your friend, Google, I am sure you would make us discover something new. If you find a new name for a seashell, add an image or a link so we can learn something.
Let’s go!
Because I want more people to jump in the game, I will ask to NOT post two consecutive answers (unless there is a 24 hour period without an answer since it could mean we are stuck)
July 1, 2021 at 9:04 am #59831What an honour to begin :-)! I love seashells too.
A = Arthropods
July 1, 2021 at 10:54 am #59837B = Blue Mussel…these can be found anywhere from the Arctic to South Carolina, and from Alaska to southern Baja California.
July 2, 2021 at 4:09 am #59891C = Conche shell
July 2, 2021 at 7:51 am #59892D = Dog whelks This theme game is a difficult one for me because I don’t know a lot of shells by name, even in Dutch let alone in English! A lot of using google or the directionary, so maybe I won’t be that active over here.
July 3, 2021 at 11:32 am #59939E = Egg cockle
July 4, 2021 at 9:08 am #59967F = Freshwater Clams
July 5, 2021 at 1:42 pm #60027G = Giant Heart Cockle
July 5, 2021 at 6:13 pm #60037H = Hermit Crabs —- They recycle seashells.
July 6, 2021 at 9:23 am #60123I = India Dove
July 7, 2021 at 10:56 am #60149Jingle shells
July 8, 2021 at 3:52 pm #60218K = Knobbed Whelk thanks to google, there aren’t many shells starting with K!
July 9, 2021 at 1:53 pm #60223L= Lace Murex. The Lace Murex, Chicoreus dilectus (A. Adams, 1855), is one of the most desirable and collectible shells from the barrier islands of Southwest Florida. The species may reach two inches in length.
July 9, 2021 at 7:42 pm #60225M = Maculated Ear Moon
July 9, 2021 at 8:30 pm #60226N ~ Nautilus Shell
July 10, 2021 at 7:46 am #60228O = Oyster this one I know and don’t need google!
July 10, 2021 at 10:01 am #60231July 11, 2021 at 9:44 am #60271Q = Quahog (I think it’s a clam and I think I spelled it correctly.)
July 11, 2021 at 11:09 am #60275R = Razor clam
July 11, 2021 at 4:39 pm #60290S = Spirula
July 13, 2021 at 8:43 am #60437T = Trochus (small and conical)
July 21, 2021 at 3:39 pm #60925Seemingly nobody including google can find a seashell starting with U and therefor we are stuck!
So, with your permission Carole, I will go for one with V = Venus
July 28, 2021 at 10:36 am #61180U I have not checked in on the alphabet in a while. How about unbroken (sometime a hard to find treasure)
