Here is a selection of shells I've picked up on the beach this year. All of these shells came from St Barth except one.....

Which shell does not speak french?

Never seen conch on SBH - so H is the answer

 

[Jeanette]

f - because it looks like it is from the East Coast, but logically speaking
e - because it has sand on it and looks like you picked it up recently.

Nice collection.

Ricky,

Great quiz, but I have not a clue as to the correct answer.

 

[RickyG]

Thanks Tim.....don't feel bad, so far nobody else has a clue either....

 

[Jeanette]

Hey, at least give us an A for effort. Andy and I grew up in Philly on cement, what do we know about sea shells?

So, how about i. Yes, that's my final answer.

 

[Rosemary]

Could it be F? Not as colorful as the other tropical beauties.

 

[julianne]

I'll take a wild guess at "c".

 

[LMAC]

I'll vote for D. BUT you get an A+ for finding such a variety of shells. St. Barths these days does not have a great variety -- or number of any shells.

 

[KevinS]

I'll go for i, which looks more like a scallop shell to me.

You are joking?

Fricassee de Lambis is Conch.

 

[JimD]

I'm going for A.

The local snails have a pointed shell. That fella looks definitely European and would be out of place on a beach.

Fricassee de Lambis is Conch.

And I have stepped on a conch in GCDS and spent a few hours at the SBH ER.

I pick f

Albert has been preparing it and I've been eating it for over 20 years. I tire of this game. Answer, SVP?

Now I've seen everything-a shell game online!
A-escargot-French, but not free range Caribbean.

I give up..........

 

[ChasBidd]

I vote for "A". It looks like a moonsnail shell. I do not think they live there.

 

[GramChop]

i have almost every single one of those shells, ricky. however, i got f from a beach in wilmington, north carolina. the one i do not have is c...i think....maybe if you flipped it over, i could better tell. so, with the information i have, i'm going with C....my final answer!

great quiz by the way!!!

OK Hommes

As an expert in shells, it is obvious to my trained eye which shell was not found on SBH.......it of course g.

RG found the SBH shells on the beach at St Jean and Anse des Cayes.

RG found g. on the beach in Cabo

Smart pup-that was my other guess!

Nice layout and fun way to start the day.
