The shellis secreted by two folds of the outerlayer of the soft body of the mus-sel. These large, flaplike folds hangdown on each side, and are calledthe mantle. The two great flapsof the mantle hang down lower thanthe rest of the body and line theshell which it secretes (Fig. 192).ffhe epidermis of the mantle secretes the shell just as theepidermis of the crayfish secretes its crust.
