Crucifix Fish (Sail Catfish)

Crucifix Fish (Sail Catfish)
This isn't a shell but is the skull of a sail catfish. It resembles Christ on the cross, without too much imagination. Also, it rattles when you shake it, therefore reminding you of the guards who cast lots (rolled dice) for Jesus' garment.

This information was on the website "Pensacolas Seashells". I took the picture at the beach outside High Island, TX.

I love stories like this about how things get their names.

I had seen this information on the website about a week ago. My next trip to the beach, and there it was. I was shocked.
