As a seashell collector, this beautiful shell was a rare beach find for me.
This Lambis truncata sebae (Kiener, 1843) was found washed up on a rock shelf at low tide just south of Dibba in the United Arab Emirates. Imagine my pleasure to spot this virtually intact sub-adult lying in a rock pool after a storm.

yeah, rare, indeed. Wait for nautilus season!
