Afternoon Pen Shell & Pearl Oysters | Low Tide on the Sunshine Coast

Описание: Phew, I finally feel like the home beach luck has returned to me! It was absolutely lovely to find such a variety of shells this time; not too many cowries, but that Baggy Pen Shell is super cool... I think it was my favourite despite what I say at the end there. Thank you so much for watching!~

Let me know which ones were your favourites ;D and if you enjoyed this and want to see more shell finding videos, I'd appreciate a like or a comment. I read all of them and try to reply when I can. You have no idea how much of a smile you guys put on my face. Thanks everyone!

Want to become a shell nerd too, or found something you want to ID?
Here's some useful links for local shellers:

Shells of SE Queensland: https://www.seqshells.com/seqmarine.php
(Some listings have multiple variations of a single shell species)

Shells of NSW: https://seashellsofnsw.org.au/General...
(Check out the illustrations or "plates" to try and match your finds)

Links for less local folks...
Check out the shell families on Femorale, it's a wonderful resource:
http://www.femorale.com/shellphotos/
(but doesn't include location information, so might lead to mis-identifications)

You can join this Facebook group for ID advice, just snap a photo and post it:

(Always take the advice/ID with some scepticism... these people are not experts)

You can also try the Conchology website, but it's a little harder to use:

Oh no, they're all scientific names? No worries, just type the scientific name
into the Queensland Museum Network database. It might have a common name listed!

(This works for non Australian shells too! Just check/click on the result to see limited info)
