From gastropods to bivalves, cowrie shells to cockles, and rare finds including tusk and triton shells, discover which animals these beautiful objects housed and how the shells are formed. The book also includes tips on sustainable beachcombing, so we can all enjoy our beaches and oceans for years to come.
