Last trip to PINS the wife picked these up. I'm curious to what they are? They are very light and rattle when you shake them. Sounds like a seed or something inside. Any ideas?????

Also found a very strange sand dollar. Got these long black things growing out from it...

You'd have lost that bet as far as the Andira galeottiana goes, but the stuff on the sand dollars is the hold fast and the cores of the sea whip, a soft coral species. _________________ The Trash Heap Has Spoken!
