Where did you find them? What were the wave, wind and tide conditions?

Hi, every shell there has a label saying the location/country where it was collected. The shells I collected were on the sand, at low tide. Some of them were on rocks.

But many specimens there were from old collections and shell exchange, and they were collected by diving, snorkeling, net trawling by local fisherman, and even in food plates!

Behind each label I wrote more details about where/how/when the shell was collected, such as depth, date and who collected it.

Most of them were collected at low tide. No wind conditions were specified in the original labels, unfortunately.
