Eduardo,

Good to hear from you.  I think your shells must be the answer to the deep
water issue.  The ones I have look like N. dubia and I am sure were found in
shallow, brackish water like normal.  I wish you had a scanner as I would
like an image of your shells.  Do you know of other Bathynerita?  I guess
I'll have to keep an eye out.
