I think it's a Harpa, not Austroharpa, but the spiral cords are most
unusual. Could be a new species, but an intergeneric hybrid certainly
isn't out of the question (not common in molluscs but common in
orchids and occurs in baleen whales). Or do all juvenile Harpa have
spiral cords? I have to admit that I've never seen one before.
