Panther cowryCypraeidaeCollected: Red SeaNOTE: I have not collected live shells since the mid-1970's. I believe that the animal itself is much more valuable alive than destroyed for its shell. It is for this reason that I will only collect beach/forest shells from deceased specimens.

This shell normally has long curly spines, but this one has lived its life in turbulent waters.

This a deep water shell - 100m plus. For some reason, which I haven't worked out yet, deepwater shells and fish are red - but red colours can't be seen down there, so why?
