This is a BUCKET LIST shell find! Here's why ⬇️ . The Atlantic Deer Cowrie shell is the largest cowrie shell in the entire world! 🤯 . This was not only my first one, but it was huge! These shells can grow up to 7.5 inches! . These shells rarely wash ashore completely in tact. I can't tell you how many broken pieces I have found 🥲 . You can not find these in the Gulf, only on the Eastern coast of Florida! 🌊 . I need to know, have you found one of these yet? 🐚 Let me know in the comments and ✨
