Pteryia colymbus, Florida

Specimen Information

Pteria colymbus Röding, 1758 Self collected at Venice Beach, Florida 1998 Venice beach is famous for collectors of sharks' teeth. It was yet another wet dreary day (El Nino), and after crouching, pawing through gritty sand looking for a couple of samples, I decided to warm up and walk. Pacing away from the other tourists, at a curve on the beach, I found this shell – by itself – nothing else at all – amazing.
