My hawk wing conch seems to have some meat in it, makes sense since it was eaten by raccoons. what should i do to clean it out? it already stinks a bit. everything online said to bury it but id prefer not to as i dont exactly have an accessible yard. Any other solutions would be greatly appreciated!
looking for an id on the shell in the last few slides!!
sooooo many shells i was so happy
this was a gift so im not sure it was found in boston but im assuming it was. about two inches wide and one inch tall at the peak.
i noticed this cyp turdus i found the a few weeks ago is extra dark compared to my others (end for comparison) i love it!
just found and cleaned this one this morning! found with nothing alive inside ofc, got two others aswell but non as pink as this!
having a rllly hard time getting the oysters out of the inside? any advice for that or shell cleaning in general? this is after they soaked in 2:1 water bleach for abt 3 hours
this is what it looks like post clean up
my first sundial, coffee bean trivia, east coast nutmeg, triton, and sundial! also saw an electric ray, a yellow ray and a sea turtle☀️☀️
just turned it into a necklace and completely forgot what shell it was😂😅
i believe 1 is a rose murex and 5, 8, and 9 are apple murexs, the others i am not so sure, google lens said 4 was a pitted murex but i know that is a rarer shell and google lens is hardly accurate so i am not so sure.
i initially thought this was a lightning whelk but its a righty so thats impossible, pls help!
never seen a shell like this before with a lip like that!
