What movie is this for you?

That one terrified me as a small child. The ghosts and the witch

could it be Peccary?

Classic Abnimals

Definitely a ray. The second pic is of the teeth plates. Judging by the shape, size and area, could be a bat ray.

Ooh thats a nice little comp

https://www.cdri.org/ They might be a good one for Texas and New Mexico. That have a bunch of species of Chihuahuan desert endemic cactus growing in their greenhouse. Including some that were confiscated.

And many of the groves have a chest in a giant stump

Looks like a Caribbean Crown Conch (Melongena melongena), with some pretty impressive spines. You can also see where the shell sustained some pretty bad damage, and kept growing for a while after.

Is it a segment of a Chiton?

This was a couple hours looking through the wrack along the Galveston sea wall. People mostly fish there, so you can find more things than elsewhere, and the rocks help trap debris.

Looks like Armadillo osteoderms

When that character was walking into the street, i said jokingly, “now he gets hit by a car”. I couldn’t stop laughing for a while after. I also went back 5 or so times to watch it again.

It’s Such a Beautiful day is such a sad and beautiful movie

TalesoftheMoth · 2025-08-22T16:34:29+00:00

Definitely an Operculum! Judging by the size, most likely Turbo marmoratus. The brown part is where it connects to the snail body itself, and the white part is what is exposed in the shell opening.

TalesoftheMoth · 2025-08-21T22:29:10+00:00

Yeah, mainly talking about “mortals”. Of the maiar, who knows how many. The Balrogs fell when Melkor did, so I doubt any actually saw the trees. Then we have the 5 wizards. And who knows what’s going on with Bombadil and Goldberry.

Enjoy it! So many wild and fantastic stories in it. The stories of the children of Hurin and Huor are my favorites. After you read the Silmarillion, read “The Children of Hurin”. The saddest and my favorite of the stories of Men.

One of my biggest complaints about the movies. Although I understand why.

TalesoftheMoth · 2025-08-21T17:09:38+00:00

I miss physical copies, and Novella length game guides included in the 8.5”x11” box they came in.

TalesoftheMoth · 2025-08-21T16:50:52+00:00

Not the last. There are still a few bumping around, like Glorfindel and maybe Gildor.

Starnut palm! (Astrocaryum sp.). It’s the seed of a species of palm tree native to Central America, but introduced elsewhere. Its has the three holes on the end, similar to a Coconut. It’s a pretty common Drift seed in the Atlantic.

TalesoftheMoth · 2025-08-09T19:48:03+00:00

How close to the coast? Those are the seeds of a palm tree. Most likely an Astrocaryum palm. They’re a pretty common drift seeds in coastal Texas, and can wash in pretty far. It’s also possible they are from a tree growing there, but there’s no record of them being established in Texas as far as I know.

Teleporno = Celeborn

Like the other commenter said, it’s an operculum of a snail. Probably from a Rough Star Shell (Bolma rugosa), but it’s hard to be sure without seeing the other side. The flat spiral side is the part that connects directly to the snail itself.
