On the note of the Marginellas carrying their prey.  Other families do
the same.  Naticidae and Olividae.  They will craw over their prey and
without missing a beat they will continue on with the shell etc. tucked
away in their purse on the back of their foot.  I have seen this many
times.  Also the head and mouth of the Carrier is a cross between the
limpets and strombus.  They don't usually eat meat unless forced to do
so to survive.
