For the Annals of Dubious Achievements, Part 4 - Moon Snail Edition

The snail was still in this one, though it had been on the storm wrack line long enough that I can't imagine it was still alive. I tossed it back in the water after taking these photos, just in case, though.
About the size of a ping-pong ball.

I confess I audibly expressed my excitement at the moment of this find, much to the amusement of a couple of passersby.

Thanks. I have a soft spot for Moon Snails.
I weep that there are but three. Good job!
