Collecting shells, exoskeletons, endoskeletons

[Silviaschicks]

Hello!
I know a lot of people like to collect shells and skeletons and such from aquatic animals, so I decided to make a thread where you can post your findings. At the moment, here are my favorite finds:

The big and tiny one are purple sea urchins, and the cracked and medium-sized ones are red penciled sea urchins

I have a bunch of cowries. I love cowries because they have so much variety

Wow!!! I love collecting things, but it’s not like something I do often. But when I get the chance, I love walking by the beach and find shells...here are my favorites!!!
The ones in the first picture are actually entire shells that I found on a beach. To all I know, they are real...which I though was pretty cool

You have a lot more though... the last time I collected shells was like 3-4 years ago, but you reminded me one of my favorite childhood hobbies!!!
