excellent shot , very intersting shell, maybe this is our forebear , what is the size of this animal?
Thanks for the comments. This shell is about 6" at the widest point. It was home to an octopus like cephalopod.
Beautiful specimen, wonderfully done. All the years of character is definately shown off in this photo. Good Luck!
This is very unique. GL!
Congrats for your first place, Kyricom!
