Thanks for all the updates!

Sabrina, is here any chance that you could send an image of them to Pam so she could put it up here? We would love to see what your two look like. :)

We could say that Jordyn’s shell is actually “rare” on Sanibel, but only because it doesn’t live there at all; it is from the other side of the world, as Pam said. But fortunately for all of us, those “ringers”, the party shells or wedding shells, are all fairly “rare” on Sanibel. They are, however, common enough to be a real nuisance to serious shellers who are trying to find interesting local shells, and to scientists who are trying to map the fauna of the area.
