An oyster shell feels rough and textured on the outside, with a mix of ridges and bumps that can vary in intensity. The inner surface is smooth and glossy, often exhibiting shades of white or cream. The overall weight of the shell can feel substantial due to its dense composition. When wet, the shell may feel slippery, enhancing its unique tactile experience.
The oyster borer is adapted to bore through the hard shell of oysters using its specialized shell-crushing radula. It secretes an acid to soften the shell and has a muscular foot that helps it bore into the oyster. The oyster borer also has a tube-like body shape that allows it to navigate within the oyster shell.
The water animal like an oyster whose shell has two parts hinged together is the bi-valve. This includes clams, mussels and scallops.

The shell of an oyster is mostly made of calcium carbonate.
Oyster shells are primarily composed of calcium carbonate in the form of aragonite crystals, which make up over 95% of the shell material. Other components include proteins, lipids, water, and trace minerals like magnesium and zinc. These components give oyster shells their strength, hardness, and protective properties.
