DSC_8926 Comparison of both Smooth Dosinia (Dosinia subrosea) left, and Coarse Dosinia (Dosinia anus) right, as beach drift shells. D. subrosea does not grow as large and is not as coarsly sculpted. Both are found throughout the North and South Islands, (D. subrosea patricularly so in the north), shallowly buried in fine sand, on open to moderate shores. Pakiri Beach, Northland *
