Kitten Paws

A variety of kitten paws.
 These are kitten paw shells, scientifically know as Plicatula gibbosa. They are common on Florida's gulf beaches. You can find them attached to other shells, in their clam form with nothing on the inside, or you can find just one without other shells or the other side (which is how you usually find them). They are usually small but you can also find them pretty big like the one in the center of the first picture.
