Did the whelk make the shells?
No, whelks do not make shells; rather, they create their shells as they grow. The shell is actually a part of the whelk's body, formed by secretions from a gland in the mantle. As the whelk ages, it adds new layers to its shell, allowing it to grow larger. The shell serves as protection and plays a role in the whelk's overall biology.
How are whelk shells formed?
Whelk shells are formed through a process called biomineralization, where the whelk secretes calcium carbonate and conchiolin to create its shell. The shell grows as the whelk continues to secrete these materials, forming the characteristic spiral shape. The shape and patterns of the shell are influenced by genetic factors as well as environmental conditions during growth.
