Image of ring cowrie
Description:
"About 3/8"". Some creature (moon snail?) drilled into it to eat it while it was still alive, which negates the possibility that this shell fell off someone's shell lei on a party boat. How it arrived at Pillar Point is probably a very interesting journey. ID as per dpom's observation/ID (and invertzoo's ID) of the same shell."
