Who wants to do some CYBERSHELLING??!! I’ve got it for you! There are days on Sanibel, Captiva and Fort Myers Beach when there are so many great shells washing up to your toes on the beach you feel like you hit the lottery. And there are other days when you just might have to look in the unlikely shell lines high up on the beach to find your hidden treasures. This, my friends, is why I fell in love with shelling\u2026.being surprised at finding a beautiful seashell gift of the sea that everybody else passed right on by without a glance. Click on this next photo for some CYBERSHELLING of your own. See if you can find my newest treasure\u2026 a BORING TURRET<\/strong><\/a> (Turritella acropora)!<\/i><\/p>\n

Did you find it? Ha! Of course you did because you are on to me now, aren’t you. \u00a0I put it right in the middle of the photograph- LOL. I found 2 \u00a0BORING TURRITS in the same area I found my CROSS-HATCHED LUCINES<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>on the new beach\/sand bar Blind Pass Captiva.<\/p>\n

\"Turritella<\/a><\/p>\n

It looks very similar to the AUGERS…<\/p>\n

\"size<\/a><\/p>\n

Gail Carr (from my last post<\/strong><\/a>) found 3 of them!<\/p>\n

Susan H showed me a beautiful specimen of a BORING TURRITELLA when she was here in December.<\/p>\n

\"boring<\/a><\/p>\n

Also back in December, brother and sister Greg and Debbie were finding all sorts of great shells…<\/p>\n

\"greg<\/a><\/p>\n

But with all the hoopla about folks finding CABRITS MUREXES, JUNONIAS and LIONS PAWS, I never got to show you Debbie’s precious find. The one I liked the most was Debbie’s BORING TURRET.<\/p>\n

\"boring<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0There are many shells from Southwest Florida that may look similar to the BORING TURRET so I’d like to show you a side by side comparison so you will be able to distinguish your shells too. Now you can see how different they are! \u00a0From left to right- \u00a0BORING TURRET, AUGER, CERITH and WORM SHELL.<\/p>\n

\"boring<\/a><\/p>\n

Can you guess which other shell in this group is in the same family TURRITELLIDAE as the “BORING” one? The WORM SHELL!<\/p>\n
