== sea shell scarring ==
Could someone please direct me to where I can find how some seashells are scarred (holes, lines across the shell, etc).  I gathered imperfect shells to illustrate their hard life in the sea and want to have the answers for my students.  Do anenomes make different marks than starfish?  On the east coast--what wants to eat those little mollusks?
Thank you.  <email removed>

message: I would also like to know how shells are made. I am doing a science project on them, and i would like some information. I think they are made when the creature is first born, and they gradually harden in the case of animals like crabs, but i am not sure about the kind of shell you find on the beach. I would welcome more information.Factoids123 00:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

message: At the moment we have articles on exoskeleton, animal shell, and seashell.  These articles seem to focus on different things - but their definitions are very loose.  Are diatom tests really "sea shells"?  
We'd be a lot better off if we had just one main article over at "exoskeleton" (since all shells are exoskeletons, and by the sounds of animal shell, all exoskeletons are shells); I think that most of the existing content may be better off in pages with a well defined name, such as "arthropod exoskeleton" or "mollusc shell".
Given the current confusion in some of the articles, I'm going to get on and do this, as I'm wanting to tap out a quick overview of shell mineralogy and as it stands will have to replicate it in three places!

message: I am going to trim the original research in this article. Under the section "series Overview" the first sentence says that Friday's was created as a reflection of the "decline" of Saturday Night Live in the 1980's after Lorne Michaels left the show - yet Lorne Michaels was still producer of SNL when Friday's first aired. It seems disingenuous to state that as a reason.

message: Hi,
I wrote the original "Karmann Motorhome" section for Wikipedia.
I have noted that since I first formulated the content and the information it has been massively edited. Some of it can no longer be considered as correct nor indeed accurate. For instance, the Karmann Missouri was never produced on a VW T4 chassis.
I do not know why I bothered trying to help and contributing to Wikipedia when an anonymous person/s has edited the section without any knowledge of  the subject matter.
