My friend had us walking around the Rye Wetlands Conservancy in Rye, New York. I saw this shell and wanted it for my own but was told it was wrong to take prizes from this natural setting. I left it behind, of course. But two days later, Hurricane Sandy happened and a storm surge of 9 to 14 feet washed over this area – am sure my shell was LONG GONE immediately. I wonder where it landed next? I am glad that it survives in my memory and on my website!
