Day II:  Monkey Expedition becomes Shell Day!!!


After resting I decided that it would be prudent to look at some of the exquisite shells we found in the last two weeks.  Do to the fragile ecosystem and regulations of customs most of these shells will not be brought back.  

This one reminds me of the movie Little Shop of Horror, "Feed Me"

This one is like a castle that is half built.  Note the inner spirals.
There are many of these ranging from all sizes.  It is very similar to the Shell gas sign.
Mini Volcano's.




Corral.  Customs forbids these to be carried out of the country.  Up close there are thousands of holes.
I
Reminds me of a oyster, I have no idea what it is.
Kelly is thinking of making a whole bunch of these into wind chimes.
More shells.  The one on the bottom reminds me of a coiled snake.


These are about 5-6 inches in length. 



This concludes Shell Day!  Come back tomorrow to see the conclusion of monkey expedition.
