V. muricatum was once very common in the Florida Keys.  It was not uncommon
to encounter dozens during a snorkeling excursion.  Not so today.  Abbott
places this shell in the "south half of Florida."  However, I have never
encountered it outside the Keys.  It is not included in Harry Lee's
checklist for Peanut Island.  I'd like to hear from those who have
encountered live V. muricatum in Florida outside the Keys.
