A trio of snail shells

I've been sorting photos for the last couple of days. What to store keep, what to load to Flickr or Facebook, or share on the blog, what to dump? Decisions, decisions ...

I found these photos of some of my favourite shells.


Snail, probably from my son's collection -- Mexico, Central America, maybe.


Source unknown. It has the feel and texture of ancient clay pottery. About 1 inch tall.


Underside, showing central well.


Looking down through the spiral of a moon snail with a broken tip.


Moon snail, for reference. handful-sized. From BC, probably.

Time to quit for the night. My eyes are burning. G'night!

    The first one is about an inch across, and the second just a bit bigger.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
