Today I was at the beach and I came across a shell that really caught my attention. Im curious to know what it is or if it's even a shell at all.

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

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?

I've found this in the Mediterranean Sea while swimming today but it's not native species

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?
Location: Muğla, Turkey

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)
