please help identify shell - thuyvan - 01-09-2012 I picked the shell in the image below/attached from seabed during a dive in Gulf of Thailand. I asked both the diver master and a fisherman there and none of them had a clue what this was. It's so strange a shell. I really wanted to know what it'd looked like when it'd been alive! Thanks Re: please help identify shell - thuyvan - 01-09-2012 attached is how the shell's bottom looked Re: please help identify shell - wolfi - 01-09-2012 Hi, it's a sea urchin  , but I don't know the species...... . Kind regards: wolf Re: please help identify shell - thuyvan - 01-09-2012 thanks for the great tip I looked up further on internet and I think they're called heart urchins, FYI!
