Description
Limpets are found in tide pools. Limpets carry conical, almost hat-like shells, and use their tiny teeth that contain a hard mineral known as goethite to scrape their way along the surface of shoreline rocks and remove algae that they eat when the tide is in. Martin Martin, a Scottish writer of the 18th century, is said to have stated that limpets were boiled to use as an ingredient in a substitute for breast milk.
