My Biggest Shell Find Ever! Orange Baler Shell | Cyclone Alfred Makes Landfall!

The cyclone impacted the islands off of Brisbane that morning (Saturday 9th of March), before downgrading to an "ex tropical cyclone." Many areas in south east Queensland are still being affected by damaging amounts of rainfall (please send all of your positive thoughts to them), but the coastal region of the Sunshine Coast is largely unaffected. It tossed up some amazing shells this time too; I shelled a day before and found so many bonnets, but this time I found the king of the beach: a big, bright orange Baler Shell! WOW! Thanks for watching the cyclone shelling videos! Let me know which ones were your favourites ;D and if you enjoyed this and want to see more shell finding videos, I'd appreciate a like or a comment. I read all of them and try to reply when I can. You have no idea how much of a smile you guys put on my face. Thanks everyone!

Here's some useful links for local shellers: Shells of SE Queensland: https://www.seqshells.com/seqmarine.php (Some listings have multiple variations of a single shell species) Shells of NSW: https://seashellsofnsw.org.au/General... (Check out the illustrations or "plates" to try and match your finds) Links for less local folks... Check out the shell families on Femorale, it's a wonderful resource: http://www.femorale.com/shellphotos/ (but doesn't include location information unless you filter for it, so might lead to mis-identifications) You can join this Facebook group for ID advice, just snap a photo and post it:   / 1490883467609774   (Always take the advice/ID with some scepticism... these people are not experts) You can also try the Conchology website, but it's a little harder to use: https://conchology.be/?t=261 Oh no, they're all scientific names? No worries, just type the scientific name into the Queensland Museum Network database. It might have a common name listed! https://collections.qm.qld.gov.au/obj... (This works for non Australian shells too! Just check/click on the result to see limited info)
