While shelling at Blind Pass Sanibel, I took\u00a0a little break to the high dry beach sand to drink some water and reapply some sunscreen. Most of you are the same way I am- anywhere on the beach I still can’t help but look for shells. So that’s what I did. Up on the dry sand away from the water… on the part of the beach most people stomp over on their way to the water’s edge… scanned the sand and look what I found.<\/p>\n

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

I found quite a few SHIVA SHELLS<\/strong><\/a><\/span> (CHESTNUT TURBAN OPERCULUM). Im rich! I found MERMAID MONEY! (or MERMAID TEARS)<\/p>\n

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

They were sitting in the sand just like this…<\/p>\n

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

When I started getting excited to find them, I realized that I was missing some since they were upside down… errr… I call it “upside down” since the swirly part wasn’t showing like this…<\/p>\n

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

Omigosh, then I found a SPECKELED TELLIN…<\/p>\n

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

During my short rehydrating break, I found the SHIVAS, the TELLIN, BORING TURRETS, a bright orange FLY SPECK CERITH, MAUVE MOUTH DRILL and SOUTHERN FLATCOILS.<\/p>\n

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

We find SOUTHERN FLATCOILS at Cayo Costa just about every trip in the high wrack lines. They are LAND SNAILS that get washed up on the beach with the sea weeds so you might find them in the same areas you find might find ROSY WOLF SNAILS<\/strong><\/a> and SEA PEARLS<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

I also found some CHESTNUT TURBANS as well.<\/p>\n

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

Along with finding DARK CERITHS, ROUGH SCALLOPS and APPLE MUREXES, all of these smaller surprise shells up on the high dry beach made my day that much more interesting. Love that stuff!<\/p>\n
