NX8652 : Shell Fragments

near to Colvend, Dumfries And Galloway, Great Britain

Shell Fragments
Shell Fragments
The blue shells are mussels, and there are also fragments of cockle shells. The large size of the fragments tells us that this beach is a high energy environment, where smaller fragments and sand grains are not deposited. This is despite the map suggesting that there is a sandy beach here.
