You found some neat odd balls on the beach. Great entry. 😀
😄😄 Thanks Cee!!
Love these! Horseshoe crabs are pretty cool critters. 🙂
They are neat SOB…….I come upon a lot of empty shells on my strolls….
I’m sure. When we paddle the sound, we see them all the time. Hard to spot, even in shallow water, until they’re stirred by a paddle or feet. 🙂
You take us right into the Heart of the subject, that’s so good. Thanks Linda.
Thanks Anna!!! 😄😄😄
I love your photos always! Those egg casings have many tiny perfect little conch shells inside. I guess whelk is another word for conch? So beautiful. You always make me miss the east coast sea so much!!
I’ve been in the habit of calling them conchs, but in our area they are whelks…the casing I found was empty this time around Mary…
“rule of thumb would be that whelks are found in temperate water and conchs are found in more tropical waters.”
We found plenty of the whelk casings and horseshoe crab shells when we visited Cape May, NJ some years ago. The casings are quite lovely.

Cool
😄
Interesting things you found there. I am always amazed about all the things you can find on a beach, things that the ocean carry in …
You just never know what your going to find!!! 😄
The whelk thingy looks too much like our hornets nest! (Did I tell you it was a hornets nest, not a wasp?) But that shell with the seafoam is beautiful. Will the bubbles stay that way?
Yes you did tell me it was hornets!!! Nasty buggers!!!!! 😁
I didn’t touch the shell C,,,I took the pic and kept on walking, leaving it for the next wanderer or for the sea to reclaim……
Was there actually something in it?
Actually this egg casing was empty…but here’s a link to what the casing actually holds…pretty cool!!

OML! So those little tiny shells actually grow? 😮
Yes ma’am!! 😊
What an interesting group of photos! The Whelk egg casing is really fascinating, when I checked in on the link… So when see big shells, that look like the biggest in the penny pic, they’re what the Whelk eggs can grow into? What lives inside the shell?
Beautiful Horseshoe crab. It reminds me of a metal detector; you know, the kind people use to search of lost metal in the sands of beaches?
I might be watching bit too much “Roswell,” because I could see alien faces in the foam LOL
Haha,,,,,like watching clouds Fim…we all see different things!!
I’ve never found one that was inhabited by its occupant Fim…I’m assuming it looks a bit snail like?!?!
LOL yes, that is very true about clouds. 🙂
Oh, snails. That’s cool, and gives me more a sense of dimensions.
