Some Questions About A Funny Little Shell On The Beach

There is a variety of shell which begins growing quite regularly and symmetrically like most typical scallops, but after a while the patterns of growth seem to become completely random. It occurred to me that there might be a correlation between this change and the onset of normally dividing cells which change into irregular and out-of-control cancer cells.

Is there anyone out there looking into this?
Has this species always existed or is it a variety which begins life normally enough and then succumbs to environmental influences which might also have an effect upon humans as well?
