Most shellfish are scavangers, eating whatever dead matter can be found. Some eat plankton and anything smaller than them.

A rock that contains fossil seashells was most likely formed as a result of sedimentation.


How can you tell the age of seashells?

The age of seashells can be estimated by examining their appearance, growth rings, and overall condition. Radiocarbon dating can also be used to determine the age of seashells by analyzing the amount of carbon-14 present in the shell material. Additionally, studying the environment in which the seashell was found can provide clues about its age based on geological changes over time.


What is a seashell welch?

There is no such thing as a "seashell welch." It seems like a combination of "seashell" and "welch"--which may refer to the act of reneging on an agreement. Seashells are commonly found on beaches and are the calcium carbonate remains of marine mollusks. If you have a specific question about seashells or "welch," please provide more context for a more accurate response.


If you found a rock with seashells in it would it be a sedimentary rock an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock?

It is definitely a sedimentary rock because you cannot find sea shells where metamorphic rocks are formed, nor can you find them in magma and lava. This is because metamorphic rocks are formed below the earths surface where the plates of the earth squash an existing rock even small to make it metamorphic, and igneous rocks are obviously formed in volcanoes where the heat and pressure would melt the fossil.
