Abstract

3D model of a snail paperweight that is made from a turbo snail shell and is part of the Uetz collection. The shell of the silvermouth snail (Turbo argyrostomus) is sanded and polished to reveal the mother-of-pearl layer.

Karl Uetz (1914–1998) was a private collector and owner of a large mollusc collection. In addition to thousands of snail and mussel shells, the collection also contains approximately 200 art and everyday objects as well as ethnographic objects. The collection was purchased by the NHM in 1974 and digitised in 2025.
