Neverita duplicata Sand Egg Collar Shark Eye (Moon Snail) |
| The sand egg collars (actually a mixture of mucus, sand and eggs) produced by the Shark Eye Moon Snail [small living specimens pictured] are a common fixture on the open Atlantic beaches of northeast Florida. As the species produces these collars offshore in deeper water, they are usually only found washed ashore following heavy seas. |
