You see, shells are made by the organism to protect itself. They are not part of the organism. It is like trying to prove the evolution of beavers by showing their dams!

Can you tell by looking at a beaver dam that it was not made by a robin or even a muskrat?

What is this nonsense about shells not being part of an organism? Does this mean that insects' exoskeletons are not part of the organism? Or that hair is not part of an organism?

"Can you tell by looking at a beaver dam that it was not made by a robin or even a muskrat?"

Mollusks get out of their shells, often make different shells in a lifetime. They are a form of housing. Do different species of humans live in one story houses than in two story houses?

Your little shells are just one more example of the phoniness of the so-called "science" of paleontology.
