Cowrie shells are produced by a type of sea snail called Cypraea. These snails secrete a hard, protective shell around their bodies, which is made up of calcium carbonate. Once the snail has died, the shell will be left behind on the ocean floor, where it will become fossilized over time.
Protists such as diatoms and radiolaria have intricate, glass-like shells made of silica that are hard and protective, and serve as a barrier to prevent water loss. The shells have small pores that allow for gas exchange and nutrient uptake.
