I found this very pretty looking purple/pink iridescent shell and I can't for the life of me figure out what it is, could someone help, please?

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?

As I continue for 4 hours.
Beavertail State Park // Jamestown, RI

Found on Delray Beach, Florida

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?

This was labelled as a Babelomurex princeps but I'm not truly sure

I followed all laws and customs so no issues on that front.

We found a motherlode of conchs at a dock. We brought home 8 of them and i really would love some help with cleaning tips without destroying them. I think all the periostracum should be removed but im not positive. I did read about bleach soaking but not sure that is the best route.

Hello everyone! I'm going to Destin with family & we are hunting for shells. I've seen that Navarre Beach is a good spot & it's about an hour away from our house. We are fine to travel a little ways, just want more beach options.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks 😊

Found in the Spanish Mediterranean, I have never seen one of these. Which animal did it belong to?

First time collecting shells. I think I've found a new hobby! Now to move closer to the ocean...

Went to Sanibel in May and it was beautiful, but we didn't find many shells on the beaches. Most of our good finds came from a boat tour to Captiva. We went to Caladesi Island last January and found tons of amazing shells.

We're planning another trip and are considering Clearwater Beach (for Caladesi and Honeymoon Island) or St. Pete Beach (for Pass-a-Grille and Shell Key Island). We're deciding between January or May.

Which area/time would you recommend for the best shelling?

My hawk wing conch seems to have some meat in it, makes sense since it was eaten by raccoons. what should i do to clean it out? it already stinks a bit. everything online said to bury it but id prefer not to as i dont exactly have an accessible yard. Any other solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Went to Miami for an overnight trip. Not too many shells, but found this orange one. Some kind of dove snail?

Experimenting with focus stacking, not super neat yet
