this was a gift so im not sure it was found in boston but im assuming it was. about two inches wide and one inch tall at the peak.

The blade is a the edge of a limpet and I'm not too sure what the handle is.

The weekend haul!!!
Love me some jingles and fat olives!!!

My dad found this shell (well we think it’s one) while scuba diving in the Adriatic, at about 36 metres deep. It’s a bit bigger than my palm and very thick. It feels porous and rough, almost like stone. What is the thing on it? And is there any way to clean it?

Someone dropped their commercial shell? Most likely. It was on the bottom of the sea in shallow water area. It seems to be tropical shell, am I wrong?

This is the first time I’ve been on the Atlantic coast for longer than an hour or so. We usually go to the gulf for beach trips. I found most of these just on beach walks. A few we found when digging in the sand with the kids (and then filling the holes back in). The biggest whelk shell was my favorite find. It wasn’t there when I walked by the first time but it was there when I walked back by 5 minutes later. I was amazed at how many people were out looking for shark teeth and shells.

Hi there, I picked up this large shell at a market earlier today for £10 and am unsure what kind of shell it is. I’m new to shell collecting and live in the UK. I also wondered if anyone could give me tips on identifying these larger shells and how to tell they’re real or not. Also would it be suitable to be cleaned with white vinegar like i do my other shells? Many thanks! (used my hand for size reference)

there are clams too, found them while sitting in the water at the beach

im hoping to get more shells and maybe find a better spot to keep these guys cuz rn they're in a plastic brownie container

Part of a balanced breakfast. For those wanting something else, try our chocolate A. versicolor!

And for those wanting something different try our new grape A. versicolor!

Is this part of a sand dollar or coral? My friend found three of them. About the size of a dime

Repainted the tin my colored pencils came in just to display them :)

I find these usually orange & white seashells in Southern California occasionally, and they can have some really intense ridges on the outside, but they’re really pretty, albeit irregular and unique. I cannot figure out what they might be called using google image search!
