EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Matthew Ward showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Pleuroploca trapezium, commonly known as the trapezium horse conch shell. The image presents both an overhead and underside view of two shells, allowing us to marvel at their intricate details. The large body shells exhibit spiral rows adorned with strong growth ridges, creating a visually striking pattern. The vibrant red cream color is further enhanced by delicate thin brown lines that gracefully traverse the surface. These contrasting hues add depth and elegance to these marine snails' homes. Ward's studio shot captures every nuance of these mollusks' shells, highlighting their unique characteristics. As members of the fasciolariidae family, these invertebrates possess a remarkable seashell structure that has evolved over time for protection and survival. The photograph invites us into a world filled with natural wonders and reminds us of the incredible diversity found within our oceans. It serves as a testament to the extraordinary beauty present in even the smallest creatures on Earth. With this stunning image from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported beneath the waves, where Pleuroploca trapezium reigns supreme as one of nature's most captivating creations.
