Shell ranch station side view - Vero Beach FL - December 1970. This is at the northwest corner of 8th Ave (US 1) and 19th street, and I think it did business as Howard's Shell. There is a McDonalds adjacent on the other side. Across US 1, there is a Bay gas station and just to the left, an A&W drive-in. Nearby but not pictured was the Dolphin Motel that had a neat neon sign with a jumping dolphin. This was taken from the porch of a relative's home. According to Google Street View, it is still exists, although it is now operated as a Sunoco outlet with a big canopy.
Zebra mussel shells on the Cana Island beach, Door County, Wisconsin. It's impressive to see so much shell, although not a good thing from the perspective of invasive species in the Great Lakes.

About 1980, while sitting over coffee in El Paso, Texas, I assisted my friends the Cragins in buying sight-unseen a well-used but well-designed Tartan 30 sailboat. The boat was swinging on a mooring 400 air miles away in the middle of San Carlos Bay on the mainland west coast of Mexico. On the following Memorial Day weekend, with daughter Sara home from college, the four of us flew down in the Cragins' Twin Comanche to see the boat for the first time. As we sailed the boat out of the harbor mouth for a trial run, we decided spontaneously to continue sailing all night across the Sea of Cortez to the Baja Peninsula. While the rest of us slept, Sara was assigned the mid-watch from midnight to 4:00 a.m. and was quite literally given "... a star to steer her by." On arrival, we anchored in the dark at the mouth of Bahia Conception. On awakening, we found ourselves adjacent to a charming shell beach. This is Sara collecting shells upon first walking on the
beach.
A fake Shell Oil billboard in Houston, July 19, 2012, reads "You Can't Run Your SUV on Cute, Let's Go." The sign mocks Shell's current advertising campaign with an image of a polar bear and cubs. By chasing after hard-to-reach oil in remote and dangerous places, Shell is putting polar bears, walruses and other Arctic wildlife at risk.

With textures from Shadowhouse Creations. Thanks again, Jerry.
This shot probably would have been better if the shells weren't so dirty. Because they are so small and delicate, it's hard to get them clean without damaging or losing one or two. I tried the Photoshop healing brush, but there's just too much to "clean". I decided that natural was better, in this case.

Shell Eco-marathon Asia - the Urban Concept class. Over several days, teams make as many attempts as possible to travel the furthest on the equivalent of one litre of fuel. Cars drive a fixed number of laps around the circuit at a set speed. Organisers calculate their energy efficiency and name a winner in each class and for each energy source. (photo by Ben Cho)
I was in Florida briefly over the weekend -- not too many photo opportunities (time constraints), but I did manage to wander down an isolated beach.
These shells were tiny -- the sand grains give a sense of scale -- and each one was perfectly formed.
