    Weird "shell"

    Any ideas what this could have come from? It has three of those little holes. Found it on Friday on Dauphin Island.

    There are lots of variations of barnacles. I've seen some that look like that, but can't remember where.

    The ones sold in gift shops often look that way, at least on the east coast.
