Weird thing. Have you tried moving it or flipping it over?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

My bet is on the snail. Some snails make pretty unique egg cases. I have seen interesting egg collars off the coast of Galiano Island made by the Moon snail, they look somewhat similar.

Typed in every word in google i could think to describe what that looked like to me with no hits. Cause I 've seen them before, I just can't remember what they were. Finally the guy above mentioned egg collar or sand collar and i got hits which looked pretty similar to what you have.

These are snail eggs. If you search on google, "MOON SNAIL EGGS" (pacific west coast species of snail illustrates it very well) they are very interesting. I am not sure the species of sand sifting snails you have.

cheers
