This page links to some of the living seashells we saw and photographed in California, mostly around the Channel Islands off Ventura and Santa Barbara. This page includes shelled gastropods; nudibranchs and their relatives are figured on another page. This is just a small sample of the species present in the area. Shells were generally not measured in the field, so any sizes given are estimates.
