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

I think the east winds blew those PEN SHELLS I talked about tuesday<\/a><\/strong> back into the water so the beach was a little sparse yesterday. Speaking of sparse, a few weeks ago I found this SPARSE DOVE<\/a><\/strong> shell which is only 3\/8 of an inch big. I’m gonna give myself a break by thinking it was a TAMPA TURRID since they both are so tiny. I could not even tell the difference between them until I put my cheater glasses on. How annoying!<\/p>\n

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

I don’t even think I have many in my shell collection… or maybe I need to go through all of my TURRIDS to see if I’ve been mixing them all along.\u00a0Here’s a tiny TAMPA TURRID (say that 3 times fast). See? I have a hard time even see solids and stripes any more- geez!<\/p>\n

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

I found another tiny shell the other day at Blind Pass which I thought was a\u00a0DWARF CERITH<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>but I just found out (MK<\/a><\/strong>) it’s a WEST INDIAN FALSE CERITH<\/a><\/strong>. I think I found the shell because I had just come back from Barefoot Beach<\/a><\/strong> looking for small black SHARK’S TEETH. I still had that shark’s teeth “eye” going on because I don’t see these jet black ones very often…<\/p>\n

Here’s a better look…<\/p>\n

In the next photo, you’ll see a common DARK\u00a0CERITH<\/a><\/strong> that we find on our beaches every day. I think they are so common, I look right over them most of the time so this might be on my “Most common Sanibel shells” list when I make it, Susan H. I’m starting to narrow it down a bit.<\/p>\n

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

PS-\u00a0Okay, and I have to tell you that Clark (he’s gonna kill me for telling you this) has a nick name for TURRIDS… He calls them “turds”! LOL He’ll say “Hey, I found a turd!”. Boys will be boys hahaha…<\/p>\n
