Murex (Haustellum?) chrysostoma

> I am struggling with a Murex (Hexaplex?)
> problem - I have two specimens from

> varices, non-spinose, one spine on the
> siphonal canal, which looks as if it
> might have been longer before the shells
> were beached. There are about three rows
> of beads between varices, and the colors
> are one tan, one gray, with two or three
> darker spiral bands. I would be inclined
> to call them woodringi.... Can someone
