Lightning Whelk
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.
