I found a rare shell in perfect condition. It will be put in the shell cabinet. I might also inform the museum of the sighting and take it in for an ID. ( there have only been 196 scientific sightings )

Thanks. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿš

I IDed it using my scientific shell book but I already knew what it was when I picked it up because i have been looking for one for decades, and the science book said rare. Then I looked it up on the museum website. It's rare.
