Cat’s eye is the common name for the lid or operculum of the New Zealand common sea snail Turbo smaragdus. When the snail is threatened by a predator or is exposed above the tide, it withdraws into its shell and the operculum seals the opening. After the snail has died and decomposed, the operculum falls free of the shell. The Māori name for cat’s eye is kanohi pūpū, and these tiny ‘lids’ feature in a traditional Maori tale.
These cat's eyes were found on beaches in New Zealand.
