Very unusual find, ocean side . . . the king's crown is fairly abundant on the Intracoastal Waterway, but this is only about the 3rd one I've ever seen make it to the Atlantic side from the Matanzas Inlet...eventually I'll post before and after shots once I've cleaned it up.
Dark green sea glass, no doubt a wine bottle...always a thrill to find sea glass since it's kind of rare at this beach.
The only lettered olive (R) I found Fri., and a cream scallop (L) . . .
A pretty piece of a shark eye . . .
A more "classic" calico scallop shell . . .
A golden shark eye piece . . .
Both sides of a nice rock snail . . .
A prickly cockle (L) and another scallop (R) . . . both have discoloration due to spending some time buried in sediment. Orange on the cockle, gray on the scallop.
This is a piece of a true tulip (gastropod) shell . . banded tulips are more common; both are very rare finds at "my" beach. I do have one large true tulip that still needs more cleaning.
On my way back up the beach, I found another dark green piece of sea glass . . .
One more cream-toned scallop . . .
While in Calif., I had a discussion with my brother about the types of crabs found in Florida...including the blue crab. I thought they were smaller; this arm/claw alone is about 5".
