    Black shell day

    October 20 in New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    A lot of black shells on the beach today. Must be something in the water.

    TravelerDoes that mean the sand is high in iron?

    TravelerNot sure! There was a band of black sand at high tide line for part of the beach so suspect there is some connection. Don's mum will probably know.
