Dear Listers, I was shelling @ John U. Lloyd State Park in shallow water
yesterday and found the biggest Cancellaria reticulata (Linnaeus, 1767)
aka: Common Nutmeg. It measures just over 2 1/2 inches and was found
dead in exceptionally good condition except for an abraded apex (spire).
The field guides I have consulted list 1 1/2 inches as the mature
size....is this one unusually large, or what? Please advise. Thanks,
