Snail New Shell. The part of the shell it was born with ends up in the center of. Spiraling coils form around the protoconch, which gradually spins around and around, becoming the apex — or uppermost tip — of the snail's widening shell. But in cases of severe damage, they may need to find a new shell. As the new material hardens at the mouth, the shell grows. Snails and other molluscs create shells through a process called biomineralization. All mollusks build their own shells, whether they live in water or on land. Creatures like snails, clams, oysters and mussels use an organ called a mantle. Snails can leave their shells to. No species of snail is currently known to shed its shell, this includes the garden, african land, apple, mystery, aquarium, freshwater, nerite and river snails. Snails can repair minor damage to their shells by secreting calcium carbonate and new layers of shell material. The mantle adds new layers of calcium carbonate and proteins to the mouth from below. A snail’s slimy organs and parts follow suit, developing with a twist that echoes the asymmetrical shell — a fact that inspired a team of researchers to identify that trait’s source. Through a shell gland, they secrete an organic matrix of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids that serves as a base for the hard mineral part of the shell. If you’re short on time, here’s a quick answer: The snail produces new shell material, like the soft material of its protoconch, that expands its shell and then hardens.

Hey guys, I’m new at this. Can anyone tell me how to fix my mystery
