We have been collecting these for years with the help of MimiCapeCod. The shells are from all over - Cape Cod to Florida, the Caymans & Mexico to Bermuda.
at low tide the wind erodes the sand away, leaving the shells balancing on top

I picked these shells up from the beach on Koh Samui in the summer - I always bring home tokens from in the form of rocks, pebbles or shells. They are scattered around the house on window-sills and table tops bringing memories of past good times.
I set the shutter speed at 2 seconds with a narrow aperture so that the image would show the colours and textures of the shells clearly.

I shot these shells through the water, which was very shallow and very calm at the time.
This isn't meant to be a scientific shot but while I'm about it, most of the shells seem to be ark shells (Arca) and spiny oysters (Spondylus). The shells are encrusted by a variety of other organisms including stony reef corals (Siderastrea), bryozoans, other bivalves (? Chama) and coralline algae. (NB I'm not sure about the bivalve names but the coral name is definite!)
It wasn't clear whether this was simply a fishermen's midden or a natural shell bank. If natural, then it seems a bit strange that the insides of the shells are all relatively fresh whereas the outsides must have been exposed to settlement by other organisms for quite a long time, maybe as much as 3-5 years.

The Meoto Iwa painted onto shells. They look like clam shells, but the Ise area is actually known for having delicious oysters. It has to do with phytoplankton and the nutrients in the water there.

I found these shells out on the shore during low-tide.
Its really hard to find an actual shell that's still attached to its other half!

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats

This was originally an Exxon, which was built and opened in 1989.
There is a large shell ring of Indian origin to be found on the western side of the island between the more modern ruins at Chocolate and those at High Point . This ring is deceptive for the casual observer because its current composition implies a diet largely comprising oysters, with some clams and whelks. In fact, mammals such as deer, raccoon, dog and opossum, together with fish, are now known to have been the major components of the Indian diet.
