Description
this could be taken in two ways, as a simplified explanation of how the lower right shell evolved, and as a very basic "diversity sheet" portraying the shell types still found among living animals in my project
take care of the shells, the bodies are just placeholders XD
the idea for this kind of shell came from looking at a pencil shaving for a sec XD

I was actually just thinking about shells, how likely they are to evolve, and why some are curly. Nice to see I'm not the only one who's mind that crossed. I love your spec evo project, I just now stumbled upon it.

There is one thing about the lowermost right shell that strikes me as particularly advantageous; you'd have to break through multiple layers (since each one is atop the other) to reach the organism.

These are BRILLIANT! So simple yet visually enthralling! This design has so much biological potential... I'm freaking out! And I've never seen something lke this before; you may have started a revolution in xenobiology.
