Mississippi's state shell is the Eastern oyster shell (Crassostrea virginica). Designated as the state shell in 1984, it symbolizes the importance of the oyster industry to the state's economy and culture. The Eastern oyster is not only a key marine resource but also plays a vital role in the ecosystem by improving water quality and providing habitat.
