Description:

I enjoyed a visit to the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum on Sanibel Island, Florida. It has extensive exhibits of shells from all over the world, which are not only beautiful but also educational. Besides the public displays, the museum has a world-class research collection of mollusks. Learn more about the museum's exhibits here: http://shellmuseum.org/exhibits.cfm Among the many exhibits is one with shells of the Angel Wing, Cyrtopleura costata. See more about it here: http://shellmuseum.org/shells/shelldetails.cfm?id=280 The species has a broad distribution, occurring from Massachusetts to Brazil. See more about it in the Biodiversity of the Gulf of Mexico (BioGoMx) Database: http://shellmuseum.org/shells/shelldetails.cfm?id=280
