What does a snail's skeleton look like?

Snails are invertebrates and have no interior skeletal structure. The snail's outer skin layer, the section called the "mantle" secretes calcium carbonate from which the snail's shell takes form and grows with the snail. The snail shell could be loosely referred to as an exoskeleton as it serves as a retreat and protective housing for the snail's organs.
