Top 10 Beaches for Shells


According to Wikipedia

A shell is the hard, rigid outer covering, or integument, of certain animals. More specific scientific names include exoskeleton, carapace, and peltidium. A shell may be made of nacre (a combination of calcium and protein), chitin, bone and cartilage, or silica. While many sea animals produce exoskeletons, usually only those of molluscs are normally considered to be "sea shells".
