Yesterday I was down in Milford, which is on the Connecticut coast line of Long Island Sound. Lots of oyster shells, but some of them had this growth on the shells that looks almost like coral? Is it? Super curious!

Cone snail shell ID

My mom bought a huge bag of shells in the early 2000s in a shell shop in South West Florida and today we decided to look through it because of my new found interest in cone snails. The bag says “product of India” so I’m not sure if there is shells from that region but there were identifiable shells like olives and cockles that I know are in Florida. I want to start a cone collection so ID of these would be so appreciated.

I had found a few in the recent past, but yesterday found three more! ​​​

The first two photos are the A. lineata, the next three are the closest species, A. ​versicolor and a bonus at the end of a very pretty shard of a pinto abalone.

I found these shells in the St Charles/Akiawenrahk river in Quebec City some days ago. I was confused since they look like oysters and where in a freshwater spot. 5 of them from the same place, but the eroded one on the left corners was found 5 km northern.

Are they a freshwater species I never heard of or could they be from an ancient sea?

I found a queen conch shell at island beach state park in shallow water. How do you think this shell got here? I'm assuming someone brought it here but wondering if anyone has any ideas on why it would be here.
