I know it’s not a plant, but are these from garden snails? My toddler has been having a great time collecting their little corpses…oops I mean, shells.

    Shells are the corpses of snails since they are born with the shell attached and die with the shell attached. Unless they are detached and eaten by a predator or the soft part of the body decomposed leaving the shell.

      Huh, I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info. Would you happen to know what type of snails these were?

      Their disc snails, probably the rotund disc snail (discus rotundatus).
