A collection of various marine shells and a single geological specimen contained within a blue plastic crate. The group primarily features bivalves and gastropods of diverse sizes and forms. Notable specimens include numerous fan-shaped Pectinidae? (scallop) valves in cream and white tones, alongside a central large Pectinidae? shell displaying prominent radial ribbing and mottled brown and tan pigmentation. The assortment also contains at least one large Muricidae? (murex) shell with a textured, spined exterior and several Cypraeidae? (cowrie) shells with polished, spotted dorsal surfaces. Other gastropods present include spiral shells with banded or polished brown finishes. A single large, oval-shaped grey stone with a smooth, weathered surface is included within the lot. The specimens exhibit natural variations in texture and colour, ranging from iridescent interiors to chalky, weathered exteriors.
