Florida Ark Shells - Bulk Assorted Mix - Coastal Craft and Decor

Bring the ancient, armored beauty of Florida’s Atlantic coast into your hands with this collector’s mix of authentic Ark Shells — carefully gathered from Florida’s East Coast shorelines.

Ark shells are some of the oldest surviving bivalves on Earth, with a lineage stretching back over 200 million years. Their thick, ribbed shells and dramatic hinge teeth make them favorites of naturalists, jewelers, witches, collectors, educators, and coastal artists.

This curated mix includes naturally tumbled and intact specimens of:

• Blood Ark (Anadara ovalis)

• Eared Ark (Anadara notabilis)

• Ponderous Ark (Noetia ponderosa)

• Cut-Ribbed Ark (Anadara floridana)

• Incongruous Ark (Anadara brasiliana)

• Transverse Ark (Anadara transversa)

Each shell measures approximately 1–3 inches and displays unique ribbing, color variation, hinge teeth, and coastal patina.

No two batches are alike — every bag is a small natural history collection.
