Like other gastropods, the abalone shell is part of its body. It is considered an exoskeleton, protecting it during low tides and from predators and other bodily harm. The shell grows as the abalone grows. Abalone shells are made of calcium carbonate. The innermost layer is made of a specific type of calcium carbonate called nacre, or mother-of-pearl, which in the past was widely used for jewelry and other decorative arts.
Abalone are mostly sedentary and exceptionally strong. They cling to rocks while waiting for a piece of kelp to drift nearby. The abalone clamps down on the kelp with its foot and then munches on algae with its radula — a tongue-like band with many small teeth.
