Auger Shell - quite old - collected from the beach a few years ago.
Marine Gastropod from the Terebridae family. Prefers warm waters , and not so many seen here where the water 6" under the surface is fairly cold, despite the Gulf Stream. I've seen them making up an entire beach where the tide goes out a long way (estuary) and comes back in over very warm sand. Over 300 species known worldwide.
