The Shells of Sunset Beach, North Carolina

Dr. Harry Lee, a nationally known malacologist, deserves much credit for this work. Thanks to him, we know the identity of many of the shells of Sunset Beach, NC.

I only walk on the far east end of Sunset Beach. There could be other species further west and on Bird Island. If you document the presence of any, please contact me.
