Hello all,
I came across a small box full of these shells while cleaning out my grandfather's estate. Â All of the shells in the box were the same type which I thought was kind of odd. Â I have a small shell collection, but I've never seen these before. Â Some of them have nice blue and orange banding.
I thought I'd check to see if you experts can ID these for me.
I just realized that I have nothing in the pic for scale. Â Most of them are around two inches long.
