These are button shells..The shells come in an amazing variety of colours and patterns. To escape predators, button snails make a short, spiralling leap then quickly bury themselves into the sand again. You might see the tiny trails left by panicky button snails, punctuated by little holes where they disappeared into the sand. Sadly, these beautiful tiny animals are collected, killed and their shells sold as cheap curios and for handicrafts.
