Exoshell Mimic – Tiny Galactic Fossil Object Imagining an Insectoid Lifeform from a Distant Exoplanet
Exoshell Mimic is a palm-sized fossil imagined from a faraway world — a speculative trace of a now-extinct creature with a life cycle unlike anything known on Earth. Forged from steel and set with a real Conus Abbreviatus shell, this object embodies a remarkable defense mechanism: the creature once carried its shell at the tip of its tail, only to spread it around its body in moments of danger — a feat of biological mimicry unseen in Earth’s evolutionary record.
Neither mollusc nor insect as we know them, this alien screature belonged to an entirely different branch of life, assumed to have pale white skin to visually harmonize with the conical shell it called home. Exoshell Mimic is not just sculpture; it is a relic of creative speculation — a miniature artifact from a planet yet to be named.
Designed to rest on a desk, shelf, or curiosity cabinet, it invites observers to imagine life beyond Earth, and the surprising ways nature might protect itself across the stars.
Material: Steel and natural Italian Conus Abbreviatus seashell
Dimensions: 21 × 14.5 × 9 cm
Weight: 200 g
Function: Small tabletop object, fantasy-inspired fossil décor, speculative biology sculpture for curious interiors
