Patterns in Nature 2

I have no idea what the name of this creature is but I found a couple of empty shells on the beach today. I thought it would work for the patterns in nature theme. It's so much better large.

Here's another: http://365project.org/kwind/365/2013-05-16

Looks like a bit like the sea urchin shells I have on my desk.
Lovely composition.
