I have seen shells like that along the Mississippi River, and my Dad once told me that a button factory once existed in our town.

Semi-random response: I grew up in a river town in Southern Ontario Canada. My wee town had the largest textile mill in the British Empire in WW2 era. My grandfather was some kind of manager there. My mother was a wee school girl then. My mum had to walk across the bridge every day to get to school. Wondering what color the river might be on any given day was what my mum remembered and told me.
