Marlo and colleagues,

The BMSM "Sanibel" record was originally included in our database as part of a small self-collected collection donated by Dr. Ross Gundersen in the 1990s. The remarks field in the database indicates "Location data questionable." This single specimen was not included in the listing of SW Florida / Sanibel shells published by the Shell Museum in its website.

There are other, similar cases of doubtful locality data originating from the same collection.

Cheers,

José

Last month I purchased on eBay a lot of "Miscellaneous dredged shells" from 110 fathoms of water, west of Naples, Florida. There were two Architectonica nobilis in this lot. Here's the completed eBay listing:

I’ve only found this shell in SE Florida.  The Bailey-Matthews Museum lists one specimen from the Sanibel area.  Has anyone found it in the Keys or Florida west coast?
