Funny, I have been going to Sanibel Island Florida since I was 6, and have always known those as a “Turkey Wing”

> matches exactly
The shape is different. The only thing that matches is the pattern, which of course it does. Anyone surprised by this should go back to grade school.

I could not word the post title correctly and yes it does not exactly match the book but I wanted to say that my toddler had this book for a while and absolutely loves sea creatures of any kind. We visited a beach and he picked it up showed it to me and I wanted to throw it away since it looked broken. But as soon as we got home he opened this book and showed me this picture.

Do you make a post about everything you find that is documented in a book?

You and I have different definitions for the words “exactly” and “matches”

Once found a word on the billboard that matched perfectly with the one in my dictionary

You can tell it’s a shell by the way that is is! Isn’t that neat?

Some people have a broad sice of the word “exactly”
KingOfThe_Jelly_Fish on
Well not really exactly, at all.

Those are delicious (the chocolate ones)

It doesn’t “match exactly”, it’s obviously just the same species of shell with similar appearance?

It’s backwards. Try again

This might actually be the most mildly interesting thing I’ve ever seen, so congrats on winning the sub.

“Direct inverse” of the one in the book.
AndreasDasos on
Yes, they look like that. Though it’s the other half of the shell. That’s why it’s in the book. Because they look like that. Gosh.

What are we looking at here? That an illustration from a biology book matches something that can be found in nature?
