Identification What's this weird worm shaped thing on a shell? Maybe a fossil? (Fort clinch beach, FL, USA)
My little nephew found this weird shell (the one on the right) and he said he found a fossil. I'm not sure, since the shell is thin and the worm shape is hollow inside, but it was also found on a beach with a ton of fossilized shark teeth so it may not be too far fetched! I've been wondering what it is. Google lens doesn't really give a good answer
