A collection of various marine biological specimens comprising gastropod and bivalve shells, a sea urchin test, and a segment of branching coral. The group includes a large, flat, purplish-brown sea urchin test, likely a keyhole sand dollar of the Rotula or Mellita genus, featuring a central apical system and distinct radial branching food grooves. Also present is a natural piece of stony branching coral, possibly Acropora, with a porous texture in shades of cream and beige. The shells include a subadult Queen Conch (Aliger gigas) with a flared lip and pink interior, a Reticulated Cowrie-Helmet (Cypraecassis testiculus) with a glossy mottled exterior and dark-ridged columellar lip, and a fan-shaped scallop shell (Pectinidae) with prominent radial ribs and distinct ears at the hinge.
