Some were easily recognizable like this candlenut.
Others were specimens I have wanted ever since I saw my first one. This is a box fruit and when I saw one on display at the Padre Island National Seashore visitor center I knew it would be on my list.
This was another excellent find - a screw pine seed. It is part of a large seed that looks like a pineapple.
I think this is a crabwood.
This interesting seed is called Cerbera odollan. I haven't found it's common name yet.
These are similar to sea hearts but are a different variety called snuff box beans.
These are likely not drift seeds but instead are seeds from a local beach plant.
This may be a sea pea.
These are some nice laurelwoods.
This is the Asian swamp lily.
These are some intact tropical almonds. Most of what I find are not in this good shape.
Last but not least are these three beans that resemble hamburger beans. I have some work ahead of me to see what they will look like after polishing!
These are yet unidentified so I will keep looking until I solve the mystery.
