Corculum cardissa, the heart cockle, is a species of marine bivalve mollusc in the family Cardiidae found in the Indo-Pacific. If viewed from the side, it looks like a heart. There is a lot of colour variation in shells, but they often have patterns in coral pink like those in my print. Interestingly, the shells are translucent in places, allowing light in which 🧵1/n

MandyIn Dublin's fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow
Through the streets, broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh" - The Dubliners
I've always liked cockles but I imagine they must be an acquired taste for some. I blame the Dubliners and growing up in Liverpool
Photo 4/24 of my "Reclaiming Worthing" series.
My brother and I took my mother to Worthing for a wonderful weekend away shortly before she passed away. I want to remember the love and beauty of that weekend

Matilda's LabIt turns out that humans weren't the first species to invent fibre optics. Cockles use them to bring light inside their shells to feed their symbiotic algae.

Heart cockle shells transmit sunlight to photosymbiotic algae using bundled fiber optic cables and condensing lenses - Nature Communications
Some bivalves have evolved photosynthetic symbioses. Here, the authors show that heart cockles transmit light through their upper shell to internal photosynthetic symbionts, using mineral fiber optic cables to maximize light transmission.
M Douglas Wray@Ultraverified - yup, the rats can't jump off the ship fast enough so they're eating each other. Warms me somewhere in the sub-cockle area.
March is seashells month for #InsertAnInvert2024, starting with infauna or animals which live inside the sediment, burrowing into it.
