Yo dawg we heard you like shells...the Stimpson chimney clam is a shell in a shell. These little bivalves bore into loose shells, building little chimneys of cemented shell fragments once they grow past the thickness of their host shell. (223)

The mangrove jingle shell lives attached to the lower leaves of mangroves! It is not actually air living, and still needs to be immersed by the tides occasionally to survive. Still, I consider it a sign of hope that the clams are working on invading our lands and it is only a matter of time. (209)
