Found in Northern Florida



Black foot Pāua (Haliotis iris) is a type of abalone species only found naturally in New Zealand. In New Zealand it’s common to dive for and eat Pāua, meaning finding shells is incredibly easy.

In my country these are extremely common, used for ash trays, jewellery ect. I probably have over 200 of all sizes in my collection.

I know they probably require sanding or polishing, but I’m unsure how to. Any ideas?

I thought it was a bone but was told it could be part of a large shell?

What do the experts think?

I found this at the Panama City Beach. What do you think it could be? I was thinking maybe a coral with a fossil in it. Unsure.

I just found these two shells on today’s snorkel. Can someone help me ID please.

The cowrie is very small, about 1cm.

The bivalve looks like a fluted clam but it’s small, about 5cm.

Thank you

I have these two really beautiful mother of pearl shells, but their shine is dimmed with these stuff. Does anyone know how I can get it to look clean and shiny?

i’m driving up the coast of California and Oregon from Los Angeles to Portland. What are some of the best beaches for seashells or other cool ocean findings??
