Sea Snails in their Myriad Colors and Shapes

Sea snail is a common name for snails that normally live in saltwater. These sea snails are incredibly varied, and have hundreds of different sub-species that come in all sizes and colors. The shells of sea snails are often found by humans as one kind of seashell that washes up on beaches. Because the shells of many sea snails are attractive and durable, they have been used by humans to make necklaces and other jewelry from prehistoric times to the current day.
