I have always found the structure, designs, colors and symmetry of sea shells so amazing to me. This is a Wentletrap, from the Dutch word (wenteltrap) meaning spiral staircase. Wentletraps are usually white, and have a porcelain-like appearance with an intricately geometric shell architecture. These snails are sometimes called “staircase shells”, and “ladder shells”.
