Sunset Beach Sand Dollar on the Beach

Sand dollar (likely Mellita or Encope species) resting on pale gray beach sand, its bleached tan test displaying the distinctive five-petaled flower pattern and elongated lunule slots. Soft diffused daylight highlights the fine granular texture of both the shell and surrounding sand, with the specimen positioned off-center and angled to emphasize the radial petalidium.
