It's not often that I get so lucky with BOTH the shore and the rockpools! Wow, what a big trip filled with amazing shells in stunning condition. So many wentletraps to find, so many glossy cowries, and that spondylus at the end was really amazing too! In the end, I think just about ever shell I picked up was the favourite...there were just too many nice ones to choose from!! Thank you so much for watching the big adventure!!
Let me know which ones were your favourites ;D and if you enjoyed this and want to see more shell finding videos, I'd appreciate a like or a comment. I read all of them and try to reply when I can. You have no idea how much of a smile you guys put on my face. Thanks everyone!

Want to become a shell nerd too, or found something you want to ID?
Here's some useful links for local shellers:
Shells of SE Queensland: www.seqshells....
(Some listings have multiple variations of a single shell species)
Shells of NSW: seashellsofnsw...
(Check out the illustrations or "plates" to try and match your finds)
Links for less local folks...
Check out the shell families on Femorale, it's a wonderful resource:
www.femorale.co...
(but doesn't include location information, so might lead to mis-identifications)
You can join this Facebook group for ID advice, just snap a photo and post it:

(Always take the advice/ID with some scepticism... these people are not experts)
You can also try the Conchology website, but it's a little harder to use:
conchology.be/...
Oh no, they're all scientific names? No worries, just type the scientific name
into the Queensland Museum Network database. It might have a common name listed!
collections.qm...
(This works for non Australian shells too! Just check/click on the result to see limited info)
