These are great shells to use in making a seashell wreath. They add a 3 dimenshional look; they're curved to fit in between 2 shells like a puzzle piece; plus if you flip them over, they sometimes have a nice pink bottom. Oftentimes I'll glue them upside down to showcase the pinkness of the shell.

Most times you'll see the spines have worn down. But if you look closely at the picture, you can see the real spiny ones. Sizes range from 3/4" to 1-1/2" with 1" being the average.

The good news is these shells are found on most Southwest Florida beaches. After a while you develop an "eye" for them and soon you'll be able to pick them out from the many varieties of other shells laying on the beach.

    I've been in love with having sand between my toes since I was a teenager taking the ferry across the bay to arrive at Presque Isle State Park (aka The Peninsula) in Erie, PA.
