Tiny but mighty 🐚 Coquinas in action in coastal ecosystems💧 Coquinas are small clams that are found in shallow, sandy waters along the Atlantic coast of North America, from Cape Cod to the Gulf of Mexico. Coquinas play an important role in marine ecosystems. They help to filter water and recycle nutrients, and they are a food source for a variety of predators, including birds, fish, and other shellfish. Coquinas are also a valuable commercial fishery in some areas. 🎥 @followmetolongboatkey 📍

Las coquinas son sedimentos hechos enteramente por conchas. Hoy en día las producen los moluscos, pero en el pasado la cosa era diferente. Aquí te presento a la coquina fósil más antigua conocida. Fuente: Psarras, C., Donoghue, P. C., Garwood, R. J., Grazhdankin, D. V., Parry, L. A., Rogov, V. I., & Liu, A. G. (2023). Three‐dimensional reconstruction, taphonomic and petrological data suggest that the oldest record of bioturbation is a body fossil coquina. Papers in Palaeontology, 9(6), e1531. #p

Saving mollusks, like these active Coquinas, is more important than ever! Sanibel has protected them for decades, first enacting laws limiting their collection in 1994. Today local, county and state laws prohibit the taking of live animals in their shells.

Have you ever wondered what some of the tiny creatures that live buried in the sand are? Some of them are called Variable Coquinas! The Variable Coquina is a small, filter feeding bivalve that is commonly found on Sanibel beaches. Their shells come in a variety of colors, and beachgoers often see them use their foot to bury in the sand after a wave crashes on the beach. Next time you’re at the beach, look closely at the sand to see if you can find any Variable Coquinas! Learn more about the Vari

Tons of OBX Coquinas! These colorful little clams are very active; they migrate up and down wave-washed shore with the tide and can reburrow between each wave. They used to be highly prized for food. The tiny clams were collected in huge numbers and boiled, the resulting broth was strained off and used as the base for seafood soups | Wild OBX

Nick Davis on Instagram: "Check out these little Coquinas at work! Like other bivalves, these Coquina clams are filter feeders. They bring in water through their incurrent siphon, and filter out food particles. They then use their excurrent siphon to expel water and waste from their body. If you look closely in this video you may see the clams use their siphons. #clam #bivalve #coquina #invertebrate #mollusk #shellfish #shell #beach #ocean #wildlife #nature #animals"
