Hello to all my Fossil Friends. I realize that I have not been on the forum as much as I use to be. I apologize, but there have been many things going on in my life. Some good, some not so much. I have not been doing alot in the way of collecting fossils. When I do manage some free time, I have been spending it FlyFishing. Yesterday I got back from a trip to Florida. Unfortunately there was no chance to visit any of the wonderful fossil sites, while there. But I did manage to visit Sanibel Island for the first time. I loved every minute of being there. I was told that Sanibel has some of the best beaches in which to find modern shells. Being that I love to find beautiful natural treasures I brought along my snorkeling gear and searched the beach for a few hours. I found an array of shells. There where probably millions of them scattered both on the beach and a little ways out into the water. Now, I have collected modern shells before, but up till now, nothing that great. I would like to show my best finds. I have been able to id most easily but there are a few I am not 100% sure about. Feel free to chime in. Also please feel free to post your own shells. #1&2- Apple Murex #3- Horse Conch? #4 & 5- Lightning Welk #6- Banded Tulip #7- Calico Scallop with Barnacles #8- Alphabet Cone #9 & 10-Fighting Conch #11-Coral
