Herm a small island off the island of Guernsey, Shell Bay a beautiful beach made up entirely of shells, this so takes me back to my childhood.

Mexico. I collect seashells and sometimes pay a good amount of money for a particularly beautiful specimen. While driving through a small commercial fishing village on the Pacific coast, I was amazed to see the discarded conch shells piled everywhere along the beach. Unaware of their market value, the fishermen didn't know that they could earn more money if they sold their garbage than from fishing.

This freshwater aquarium is set up as a single species tank of Neolamprologus multifasciatus Chaitika dwarf cichlids from Lake Tanganyika in Africa. The bottom is covered with sand and shells.
These are believed to have been the preferred light source for early cave dwellers: a shell, packed with moss that had been soaked in animal fat. The fat burns with the moss acting as a wick; the shell makes it possible to carry around. (For the sake of sensitive modern noses, the guide used candle wax instead of animal fat, but the principle is the same.)
We were surprised just how much light these actually gave off. After demonstrating how well they worked, the guide then extinguished the flames, to let us see how dark 'really dark' can get (which is very). It didn't worry me at all, living away from streetlights and such things; but I fancied that I could sense a few people in our party tensing.
Shell Falls is a waterfall in the Bighorn National Forest on Shell Creek, about half-way down Shell Canyon, and a few miles upstream from the town of Shell in northeast Wyoming. The falls are 120 feet (36 meters) in height and tumble over basement rock of granite.
From the rest area and interpretive center, one can see outcrops of the Cambrian flathead sandstone, about 550 million years old, resting on 2.9 billion year old Precambrian rocks - some of the oldest rocks on earth. Visitors can also see "Copman's Tomb", a massive limestone promontory to the north. Wikipedia
