Description |
The dog whelk's shell, which varies much in form and colouring, is thick and heavy to protect the animal from the force of waves. A dye similar to the famous Tyrian purple can be extracted from this animal. The stalked vase-shaped objects on the under side of the rock are egg capsules. The scientific name Nucella lapillus is currently accepted for this species. Enlarged drawing of the common Dog Whelk (purpura lapillus) creeping upon a piece of rock. The shell, which varies much in form and colouring, is thick and heavy to protect the animal from the force of waves. A dye similar to the famous Tyrian purple can be extracted from this animal. The stalked vase-shaped objects on the under side of the rock are egg capsules of the Dog Whelk and a single animal has been observed to produce 245 capsules. Drawing by the late Philip Henry Gosse FRS. |
