| Abstract: | Superficial coatings of glauconite grains have been observed on the gastropod mollusc, Fusitriton laudanum, from the Reserve Bank, Chatham Rise. The glauconite predates the shell on which it accretes and is incorporated on to the shell surface by agglutination of sand‐size material by mucus secreted by epizoic anemones. |
