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

I found a few shells on the low tide flats off the Sanibel causeway but the ROSEATE SPOONBILLS in yesterday’s post Roseate Spoonbills at Sanibel Causeway\u00a0Video<\/strong><\/a> really stole the show. I still want to show you this small POINTED VENUS bivalve I found, especially after Christine Kieffer<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>wanted to know what kind of shells were out there.<\/p>\n

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

There were quite a few with both valves still attached that were laying on top of the muck but when I picked them up to take a photo, I unintentionally broke them apart. Oops! Here’s the interior of this one but all of them didn’t have this dark purple. Some were plain white.<\/p>\n

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

I didn’t find tons of shells but while I was filming the ROSEATES, my flip flops were getting sucked into the muck so I took them off to go barefoot and almost stepped on several little baby HORSESHOE CRABS. So as I had the camera pointed at the birds, I had to keep my eye on not stepping on the live critters. I even saw a few live MARGINELLAS…<\/p>\n

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

I videoed the HORSESHOE CRABS since I got tickled with them scooting along trying to make me slosh around them. You’ll notice just a few empty shells here and there but the live critters were the real finds of the day.<\/p>\n\n
