Spirals in Life

Spirals in life are amazing, in nature and personal things. A couple of weeks ago it seemed that I had lots of consulting work until Christmas, but within days they spiralled down into nothing. Now birding trips to the Northern Territory, New South Wales, Borneo and Thailand have spiralled up you might say, all before Christmas. Amazing!



These are pictures of some of the spiral snail shells found on Koolan. I was using a Leica microscope with built in camera (with a very limited depth of field and focus problems).

    Excuse my ignorance, but are these shells ancient i.e. fossils or what ?

    These shells do look old, but they are probably at most only a few years old.
