Taken on January 22nd in the woods behind Seahawk Village at UNCW. I could not identify the exact species, but these are clearly oyster shells. Oyster shells are not commonly found inland especially away from bodies of water with high salinity. However, these empty shells were found in this environment, which is not their habitat. They appear to be fairly recently placed here, indicating that someone probably discarded these after consuming the oysters themselves. The person consumed the oysters as an energy source.
