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.
