What a #mollusc shell and fiber optic cables have in common npr.org/2024/11/23/nx-s1-51996

Heart cockle shells transmit sunlight to photosymbiotic algae using bundled fiber optic cables and condensing lenses: Dakota McCoy et al. nature.com/articles/s41467-024

"the structure of the #HeartCockle's shell operates as its own kind of fiber #OpticCables to channel light to the #algae living inside it"

For the #printerSolstice prompt monochromatic I made a #linocut in tints of coral for your nature loving Valentine with three heart cockles (Corculum cardissa) and the words, “You warm the cockles of my heart”. Perfect for your favourite malachologist, beach comber or shell collector, 🐚

Corculum cardissa, the heart cockle, is a species of marine bivalve mollusc in the family Cardiidae found in the Indo-Pacific. 🧵1/

My linocut shows three heart cockles (Corculum cardissa) with the words, “You warm the cockles of my heart”. Each 6.5” x 8” print is hand printed on Japanese paper. The cockles are viewed from the side so they look like hearts and have varied patterns in two tints of coral pink (spots, concentric stripes with wavy patterns and splotches around the edge of the heart shape).
