    So my Mom ADORES all things colorful and has recently - just in the last three of four years - grown obsessed with seashells!
    Since she is bed-bound and home all day she does what she can to reach out to the world through Facebook and other online forums - and the people she meets are SO AMAZINGLY KIND!! Almost every seashell that you see here were sent to her by amazingly friendly people she met online.
    At one point people would record videos of collecting the shells for her at the beach and send them to her - it cheered her up so much to see the ocean she loves, even though she's in her bed in Missouri all day. I can't thank them enough and love cooing over her collection every time I go so that I can celebrate the kindness of hundreds of strangers in bringing color, beauty, and bits of joy to my mother's life.

    Oh. My. Goodness. Just a glimpse into that sea shell collection and I'm already in love. Your mother is a woman after my own heart. I LOVED collecting sea shells down by the beach when I was a kid! I'd take at least one everyday from the shore after school and within the years I spent living there I'd built up a HUMONGOUS collection! It was nowhere near as big as your mum's of course, and definitely didn't have such rare and breathtakingly stunning shells, but it was something I truly loved. I'm not nearly as knowledgeable about shells as your mother seems to be, but I reckon we'd gush for HOURS over every single pretty little shell in existence if by some miracle we ever met! =D
    Thank you for sharing this utterly beautiful collection Seri! This truly made my night!! SHELLS~

    I LOVE seashells! I'm very far away from the ocean so I don't get to really collect them often but every time I end up on the beach I go hunting for shells (and fun rocks and weird sea weed and even interesting bits of trash that washed up).

    Seashells come from invertebrate animals (meaning they have no backbone or spinal cord) and your mom's seashells are very nice. My favorite is the sea urchin's shell :) I also have a seashell collection and I will be posting it in my RUclips channel. Thanks for sharing your mom's seashell collection! :)

    • @donnajohnson3334
      @donnajohnson3334 Год назад +1

      I love them, too. Most shells are from the bivalves. Gastropods are next, who look like snails.
      The Nautilis are a squid like tentacled creature. To blow your mind, look up videos on youtube. Also the Argonauts in their glass like boats. Good luck collecting !.

    I have a similar hobby to our mother, if you need help identifying what they are, I can help.
    The orange starfish is a Pisaster ochraceus, it comes from the Pacific coast of North America and I think I saw a Cypreacassis testiculus at 3:21, it was the orange shell in the same box as your mothers red Fan Scallop and it lives around the Caribbean.
    The bubble shell I probably would be able to Identify if you showed me the underside, right now I am thinking Aplustrem amplustre which lives around the Pacific and Indian Ocean from Hawaii, to Japan to South Africa.
    While you were showing the Coral at 6:11, I saw a Tonna dolium, a type of carnivorous Tun or Cask shell.
    At 7:36, the Sand Dollar is a Mellita tenuis and the Sea Biscuit, looks like a Clypeaster Rosaceus or Europacificus and the ones in the jar look like Mellita quinquiesperforata.
    The big flat one at 8:39 looks like some sort of Mesopeplum or Nodipecten.
    At 9:07, yes, they are Wentletraps.
    At 9:25, these Echinoid tests look like a Salmacis sphaeroides, if not then maybe a Temnopleurus alexandri from Australia, definitely in the family Temnopleuridae.
    At 11:46, the box has some Mellita quinquiesperforata and two Arbacia lixula, a Mediterranean species which made its way to Brazil.
    At 13:50, the biggest shell at the back looks like its in the Genus Cassis, maybe a Cassis tuberosa.
    At 14:45 you have a Nodipecten fragosus.
    The purple ones shortly after look like Janthina janthinas.
    I would give almost anything to get my hands on some of the shells your Mother has, you are very lucky and so is your Mother, please tell her that for me.

    If I had anything worthy of the collection I'd totally send it along, but anything I can find here, she'd probably already have a whole vase of! SO MANY.
    You should find out if she has any with a left-hand spiral! Those are super rare. ^_^

    • @michelegautreaux5695
      @michelegautreaux5695 6 лет назад

      Hi Fi - your offer to send some seashells from Fiji is so very generous. Seri and her Mother sound
      absolutely delightful. My Mother and I had a seashell store for about 8 years until her health made it impossible
      for her to continue but we had many great shelling trips (domestic) and buying trips also domestic. She passed
      away four years ago and I had to move into a small apartment. So I packed up all our collection and stored it
      In my brothers attic. Mother and I lived together for 22 years and the memories were too much at the time and
      I am ready to relive them and be surrounded by them now. I know it is really rude to ask but I have always wanted
      to go shelling in Fiji and Tihiti and I'm 65 now and handicapped so it is highly unlikely that I will. If you have some
      that you can spare I would love to have one or two shells from Fiji. I am also going to send some to Seri's Mom!

    Ive collected seashells in thailand and i was worried if the airport wouldn't accept it so I was really upset. If you said they came all over the world did the airport accept it? I also found that coral but black I thought it was a sea creature or a piece of rubbish.
