Details of a larger and smaller shell of the Cymbium marmoratum, a salt-water mollusk common to Senegal's Atlantic coastline. The flesh is removed, washed, salted and dried in the sunshine, before cutting into smaller chunks for sale as flavorings for many popular Senegalese dishes, called 'yet' in the Wolof language; names vary between languages. The plentiful discarded shells are ubiquitous along the sea coast, helpful for all sorts of tasks; scoop, ashtray, scraper, decoration.
