Abstract:
Although a small, unsuspecting creature, the Scotch Bonnet is an aggressive snail-like creature that lives off the North Carolina coast in depths up to 300 feet. Although a particularly rare shell to come across, the Scotch Bonnet was made the state's official seashell in 1965, prompting North Carolina to become the first state to adopt a seashell as its state symbol.
