Report from the Shells of the Beach Village Darak Chabahar

Village Darak Chabahar is located between the desert and the sea. Sand, palm and sea it's all that takes place in a frame and makes a unique image. It is a new regional still unknown and original. Sistan and Baluchistan can be considered the most undiscovered parts of Iran. An unexplored mine of location and with an original nature and wild climate that incorporates Amazing animal and plants. Seashell, also known a shell, is a hard protective outer layer created by animals that live in the sea. The shell is part of the body of the animal. Empty seashells are often found on the beaches by passersby. The shells are empty because the animal has died and the soft parts have been eaten by another animal or have decomposed. A seashell is usually the exoskeleton of an invertebrate (an animal without a backbone), and is typically composed of calcium carbonate or chitin. Most shells that are found on beaches are the shells of marine mollusks, partly because these shells are usually made of calcium carbonate, and endure better than shells made of chitin. The purpose of collecting Shell Sea this is to show that shell of the village are similar to the shell of the Persian Gulf, and also tried to introduce and natural region to environmentalist.

Since the earth's crust began to move and oceans divided between continents, the Pars Sea has been the southern border of the Iranian plateau. The Pars Sea, the Gulf always Fars. In addition, the Makran Sea is known today as Makran of Oman. Chabahar, one of the southeast cities of Sistan and Baluchistan province of Iran and it is the only ocean port of the country located on the coast of the Makran and Indian Ocean. Chabahar, it has numerous historical and natural attractions. The climate of the city and its surroundings is always springy, moderate. That's why four spring is called. Chabahar is the city center of Chabahar It is located at the extreme south - eastern part of Iran by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. The Village of Darak zar Abad located in Sistan-Baluchistan province and this village is located on shores of Makran and around Konarak. At a distance of about 170 km west of Chabahar Free Zone and center Konarak county. Within 6 km of beach Darak Chabahar is considered the purest of the coast of Iran. Darak, in the Balochi dialect means staying beside the valley [1]. The shell is a scientific name that refers to the hard crust of all the mollusks species that have an outer cover such as Bivalve and Gastropods. Of course, the snail shell is also called shell. The material of shell is from silicate. These animals have one or two lime shells that their soft bodies have included. Some types of shells are edible. Shells are calcium carbonate. Mollusks needed sea limestone to make shell. After the mollusks die, the shell release into the water and float at the surface of the water [2]. Due to the unique properties of shell structure in recent years, attention has been paid, mollusks shells have wide applications in energy storage and conversion such as batteries [3]. Edible shells are zinc-rich. This material is essential for the production of sperm and testosterone, the shell contains dopamine, hormonal that increases sexual desire. In addition to maintaining the skin's collagen level, the skin helps smooth and flexible skin. Sugar found in shell and Sea Creatures can be the key to treating spinal cord injuries. Shell helps to improve brain function by having zinc [4]. The Coastal Makrn (CM) is the outermost part of the Makran zone, which is one of few intact areas to study the evolutionary trend of raised beaches and also to estimate the rate of coastal progradation since the late Holocene. The Makran zone is an accretionary wedge that has formed by the subduction of oceanic crust of Arabian Plate under the Eurasian Plate. The CM range in Iran is located between the eastern corner of the Hormuz Strait and the middle of the Guwader Bay at the Iran-Pakistan boundary [5].

Nowadays, materials with a core-shell structure have been widely explored for applications in advanced batteries owing to their superb properties. Core-shell structures based on the electrode type, including anodes and cathodes, and the material compositions of the cores and shells have been summarized [6]. Bivalve shells comprise a significant portion of shell mounds, so mollusks have always been seen as fundamental to shell mound societies [7]. In the map position of the village darak in sistan (Figure 1).

The village forms a part of Zarabad County in the borders of Konarak. It is 19km from Johlou, the capital city of Zara bad. From the east, Darak is linked to the coastal village of Jod, and from the west it borders Poshti Village. Mountains embrace the village from the north and the sea from the south. Abandoning the usual tourist routes, one could take an unknown route to venture into Sistan and Baluchestan. Trotting along the mild path, we will reach its sandy shore that offers a unique spectacle. This village is located between two important southern port cities: Chabahar and Bandar Abbas.

Occasional gathering of 20 kinds of Shell Sea from the beaches of the Village Darak chabahar, the appearance of shells sthat represents their very long time and Identify them from the Atlas of the Persian Gulf Molluskcs.

Just because the shell was observed in the area does not mean it was associated with a living specimen nearby. That shell could have drifted in on the tides or currents, therefore the use of that shell as an indicator is flawed.

20 samples of seashells I collected from the beaches of the village Darak of Chabahar.The beautiful and untouched area of old seashell. I took photos of them and derived the information about the seashell from the Atlas of the Persian Gulf Molluskcs. I invite biologists and geologists to travel to the most intact and natural in Iran. Filled with beautiful rocks and seashell and Marine animals [5,8].

The purpose of collecting Shell Sea this is to show that shell of the village are similar to the shell of the Persian Gulf.

The Atlas of the Persian Gulf Molluskcs book was used to identify shellfish, but another author did not contribute to writing this article.
