Anomiidae goes by several names, among them jingle shells, saddle oysters and Mermaid’s Toenails. These are extremely thin, translucent paper-like shells. The shell itself follows the shape of the object it lays on, usually a rock or the large shell of another creature. While the meat inside is basically inedible, there are industrial uses such as the manufacture of glue, paint, and shellac.
"I wish I knew how many miles I've walked along so many beaches, always enjoying the sand under my feet, and always collection shells. Jingle shells are one of my favorites." - Michael Michaud
