Very rare shell, perhaps - a photo on Flickriver

Very rare shell, perhaps

            Many many years ago, I picked up this very small shell (can't remember if it was on a beach in Borneo, Qatar or Oman).  I almost threw it back down on to the sand, as it looked rather like a broken piece of a shell, but instead kept it.  Some time later, I happened to see a National Geographic Magazine page illustrating some of the rarest shells in the world.  One of them looked just like this little one - somewhere around 1" in length, if I remember correctly.  Too dead beat to go downstairs to check, after a full day of Christmas Bird Count in the Canmore area (near Banff, in the Rocky Mountains).  It's recommended that a person does 10,000 steps a day - well, I've done 23,377 today, LOL, and it feels like it, too!  I don't know if someone "out there" is able to confirm or correct this.  Would be greatly appreciated : )
