  1. It looks like it is in a bed of fragments of its ancestors.

  2. Beautiful! But I admit, I was kind of hoping it was a puzzle, and that I could guess that it was, like, a spiny blue lobster or something. Oh well!

  3. Bingo caitlinburke, a new winner!

  4. Nice macro shot & what a cool looking shell, beautiful!
