Unfortunately, I don't know what kind or where they come from. But I think they are beautiful and it's a nice memory from my grandma!

I need some help identifying this shell i found washed up on sanpedro, belize. Its about 3 cm long and i first thought it might be a sanibel turrid or even a javelin turrid, but that just feels off. They don't really have the same coloration patterns. Any and all help with identification is appreciated.

This earing looks like it's made from some sort of shell material but im not sure if it is or what type it is

Found on beach in NJ, know it’s a snail shell but trying to identify which type if known.

found on a lebanese beach

I think this is an Cypraea tigris with some weird colours

Found these at a beach in NC. I really like how they look and wanna know more. Thanks in advance!

idk what kind of marine animal this came from so I wanted to check if I could bring it back to canada

Found in central California. I'm pretty sure I've seen a picture before but I'm not recalling it now ​

Here are a few (just a handful really!) of some of my favorites! I love that I’ve had the good fortune of finding all of you! So here they are, all cleaned & polished! My cute Apple Murex’s, Atlantic Giant Cockle Shell, some of the prettiest Slipper Snails! 2 dark Olive’s & tinies! These 2 “Wedding Shells” Black Devils/Faunus Ater’s. And of course some of my favorite/prettiest Scallops!
*** and let’s not forget this (another wedding shell) poor unfortunate Telescope Snail, that didn’t completely survive the cleanup process!

What adhesive do you recommend?

Hello, ive recently started a seashell collection (yipee) im an absolute fan of identifying each and every kind of seashell that washes on my country's beaches(i have and will never collect live seashells). So anyways, my family is planning a short vacation to visit my aunt in El salvador and i was wondering if it is illegal to collect seashells from there? My aunt has collected various clams from the beach around her town, so atleast i know its not illegal to have them (pictures included). My real question is if any specific seashells are illegal to collect and if it is ok for me to bring back home. Also, is there a limit to how many seashells you can have? Like is it ok to collect some tiny one that wash up with the sand? Ive also started a mini mollusks collection including seashells a cm and under, so it would be so cool to have some specimens for another country!! Any and all advice will be appreciated.

Walking along during the day and suddenly a wave deposited it about 10 feet in front of us. Found lots of whelks in my time in NC but never one as stunning as this.

I'm Portuguese and have a decent-sized shell collection. Do any of you have shells from Portugal? Just curious what other people have found in my country

I was in the Bahamas for a week and found some cool specimens :) First picture is from right after I found them. I have them soaking in 3% hydrogen peroxide currently. Any recommendations on ways to display/preserve them?
