Thanks for solving my mystery Paul!
That's not in any of my books but I was wondering about Nuttallia, the one in my
book N. nuttallia seemed like my shell, except in the wrong place.
Seems like there are a lot of introduced species from Japan in BC, including
Tapes philippinarium and a Battillaria, introduced unintentionally with oysters.
