Billions of tiny white 'coquina bivalve' sea shells form Shell Beach. The coquina bivalve shellfish has no predator in this locality due to the very high salinity in this bay which predators have been unable to adapt to. The shell fish have existed in huge numbers for thousands of years, then died natural deaths then been washed ashore. Shell Beach is covered for a 60km-long stretch to a depth of some seven to ten metres. Shell Beach is one of only two shell beaches like it in the world.
Shells
I collect seashells. They remind me of the ocean, which I find very peaceful.

maybe i've told you before...
but i will tell you again.
these remind me of my Mom, and it's very hard for me not to collect everyone of them i see on the beach. :)
Shell Falls and visitor center are on highway 14 on the western slope of the Bighorn Mountains in northeast Wyoming. I used a split ND filter vertically to even out the exposure range to bring out detail in the shadows. It wasn't quite enough.
Close up of a Razor Shell (Ensis siliqua) Linnaeus, 1758
We have loads of Razor Shells on Rhyl Beach, and the winter storms wash the empty shells up in their millions. They're usually bleached white and rubbed smooth, but this fresh one still had it's beautiful pale olive coating - despite which, I decided to do the images in Black & White!
The Razor shell is very confusingly named, and to be honest, you're best rearching by latin name, as every country seems to have it's own interpretation of what a Razor Shell is!
Anglers call them "Razorfish" just to confuse everybody, when they are of course Bivalves/Molluscs.
Other common names in use include Pod Razor, Razor and Razor Clam

Um nochmal auf die Ölbohr-Arktispläne von Shell hinzuweisen, protestierten wir vor der Tankstelle an der Von-Schmoller-Straße am Stadtgarten.
This shell was found off the beach near Applecross in Scotland. I was quite surprised to find it, but not half as suprised to how cold the water was.
i always bring back at least one shell with me, as a momento, every single time i visit the beach, no matter what beach. these shells are from when i went to the beach in coco cay last month.
