Greetings All,

                     Has anyone every heard of a shell called Ancistrosyrinx
cedonulli (Reeve, 1842)? I bought this shell a few years ago with this name
attached but no other info. It most likely belongs in the Astraea family.
It's 23mm in diameter, 9mm high and looks just like a saw blade with 9 very
sharp spines on each of the 3 whorls. It's all nacreous. I can send anyone
who is interested a set of images. Just let me know. Any info on this shell
would be most helpful.
