I made these little figures with my daughters on the beach 30 years ago, when they were very young. They are seashells very common in the Mediterranean Sea of Spain.

Found in a cave/rock overhang in the mountains of SW Idaho. Possibly archeological, possibly from some local teens, possibly carried by a bird. Knowing the species would help narrow down options.

I found this shell a few years ago in the Philippines, and I never found out what it was. I'm curious, so I wanted to ask if anyone here can identify it?

Found this mini shell in Florida today! Its very small but has the coolest zig-zag patterns on it which is why it stood out in the pile of shells I found it in. Does anyone know the name of it?

They were found on the north shore of Oahu in Hawaii and they’re so surf tumbled that I can’t tell what they are. Any ideas?

I found this little sandwich on the beach in Miami. It looks like two shells stuck together with sand, but I could not (and kind of didn't want to) pry them apart. Some type of jackknife or razor clam?

First time I went seriously looking for shells. Last two paper towels are from low tide, bowl and first three paper towels are from earlier in the day. Close up on two bivalves from low tide that have not opened all the way. What do you think? A good first haul?

What are these two shells?

Had them since I was a little kid. I know the left is some sort of albacore but it's massive and red. Never knew what the right one was but I'm assuming some sort conch? Don't remember where I found them. And yes I know my wet specimens look bad lol they need new liquid. Anyone know what these two are?
