What are the other little white shells in your picture with the mauve drill? I got a bunch of the white shells like yours when last at Sanibel,but don’t know what they are? Hope to see you on next trip!

To see the shells laying eggs in action – what a natural wonder treat! When I’m there, I enjoy all the live wonder as much as finding empty shells! I have a photo of a white pearlescent lacey egg case on a pin shell from spring 2010 – so amazing it could almost be jewelry! I never mind my son to miss school to be there – it’s always the best science and nature class he’ll ever have!
