Yesterday it rained and stormed all day.  Today the sun is out but it is extremely windy.  At the beach the surf was rough and brown from all the churned up sand.

  I saw a few shark eye egg collars, which look for all the world like a plastic ring made by man!

These collars tend to turn up after a storm, when the seas are rough.  Shark eye snails, or moon snails, lay their eggs in these collar shapes, which consist of mucus and sand.  I have never seen a live shark eye snail, but have found many shark eye shells, in many sizes.

This snail is a predator, boring a beveled hole in other shells to eat the occupant.  The upside-down shark eye shell on the far right shows that these snails have no problem eating fellow shark eye snails!
