An assortment of natural history specimens comprising marine gastropod shells and sea urchin tests. The collection features several large, globose gastropod shells of the Tonnidae family, commonly known as tun shells, which exhibit pronounced horizontal spiral ribbing and vary in colour from cream to pale buff. Included is a smaller, elongated cowrie shell with a white surface decorated with a pattern of dark reddish-brown maculation. The group also contains two globose sea urchin tests showing characteristic radial patterns of small tubercles in reddish-brown and muted grey-purple tones. The specimens are presented in a cardboard transport tray with green-rimmed edges.
