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

I found shell Peace at Gulf Side City Beach yesterday evening. Literally!<\/p>\n

It was the perfect word to describe my walk at a low tide with temperatures in the mid 80s. Peace.<\/p>\n

\"Wentletrap<\/a>

Ellen's Wentletrap <\/p><\/div>\n

Not that I was eaves dropping (well trying not to), but I overheard a couple trying to figure out what they had found on the beach. I just had to see! It was a pretty large WENTLETRAP! They knew it was special.<\/p>\n

There were lots of egg casings like I saw on\u00a0May 18\u00a0on\u00a0this stretch of beach too. This one is a MUREX EGG CASE.<\/p>\n

Woops! I goofed when I named the egg case on my MAY 18<\/a><\/strong> post a TULIP egg case- it isn’t and I corrected it! It was a HORSE CONCH EGG CASING on my other post- thank you Sanibel Sisters!\u00a0The one below is a TULIP EGG CASE.<\/p>\n

This is a SHARK’S EYE MOON SHELL SAND COLLAR. The eggs are mixed with sand and a gelatin mixture to protect them by forming this collar. Weird, huh?<\/p>\n

I was very impressed when I met Caroline and her mom Bonnie. We were showing our shell finds to each other and Caroline knew every name of each of the shells…. PAPER FIGS, OLIVES, CONCHS. Bonnie says that Caroline loves everything to do with nature so she soaks up every bit of information she can find. I can’t believe I didn’t get pictures of their shells but I sure got a cute picture of the two of them…<\/p>\n
