The wonderful and ever popular Argonauta argo - and egg-case made by the female Argonaut (Octopus type creature) Once made, it deposits it egg cases into the shell and the cup-like shell floats on the sea's surface until the eggs hatch and swim away! The shells are occasionally found washed up on the shores of many world wide locations - although most are found badly damaged due to the fragile nature of the shell (Hence the common name 'Paper')
VERY limited stock. £1 coin to show size idea. The shells measures approx 65 mm. Collection data with each shell
