This is a turtle shell I believe, but not sure what’s on underside. Is this a bone? Also a collection from a morning stroll. This was the day for horse teeth! One shark tooth, and I believe a piece of tusk. All on same walk. Very cool!

Found these today. At first I thought it was a cone shell because of the overall shape. But when I cleaned it off I thought it was Strombus floridanis but the the heavy lines on the body and fine lines on the top threw me. The coral is interesting but unknown to me. Any feed back is appreciated.

The one on the right I found about 2 years ago and put it aside thinking it was just an oddball worn shell. BUT THEN, I was digging in the same area today and the one on the left appeared. Although a bit worn it is the same as the one I found a few years back. Could it be 2 oddball very worn shells or something else?

I don’t know how rare these shells are, but in 3 years of digging this is the only one I’ve ever found. Looking in my reference book it’s either a Talityphis floridanus or Talityphis sarasotaensis. I am a very happy with whatever it is!

Anadara aequalitas has extra ridges on the outer lip. Is that common? Also looks like someone made a permanent home inside. Barnacle I’m assuming.

I know this is not a tooth. First thing I thought of was mammoth tusk but couldn’t see any cross hatching . Not a great photo of sides. Is it enamel on the outside? Any comments appreciated

Dug these this afternoon. First photo Vermetus carolinensis (I believe) and Hindsiclava antealesidota. Second and third photos left Melongena penningtonorum (a guess!) and shell on the right I cannot find one that matches. Third, fourth and fifth I have no clue! Any help will be appreciated.

My wife found these today on our beach stroll. I assumed the wide flat one was turtle, but when I turned it over it looked like it was hollow. So that eliminated turtle shell for me. The other reminded me of gator on top. All comments appreciated.

Went digging for about 15 min behind my commercial building and found this baby! Super size 3 3/4” long 2” wide. Looking in my reference books it looks to me like Chicoreus judeae. But not positive. Any help would be appreciated.

Scallop shell but can’t find one where ribs curve like this. Books I have all seem to have ribs rather straight. Thought about Nodipecten collierensis but again ribs not curved enough. Any help would be much appreciated.

I usually don’t keep a lot of bivalves. But this one was different in its overall look. Closest I can find is Mercenaria campechiensis. But I am not convinced. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

These 2 were found behind my building in Tampa. I’m sure they were brought in as land fill. The large one is interesting because the bottom is so flat. The other is a tear drop shape. Couldn’t find either in any of my reference books. Any ideas?

Thought this was a misc bone but then I noticed 3 “sockets”. And on the interior side it looks like teeth markings. Or maybe I just want to believe it’s a jaw bone! Any help would be appreciated.
