Eastern Arabia feller shellers,
Still sorting through my micros from the 3 hours I spent in November on the
beach in Kuwait City, I found a gastropod that seems not to be in Seashells
of Eastern Arabia.
It's 4mm, very elongate, white, glossy, smooth, whorls are slightly convex.
There's a brown spiral line above the suture and a columellar plait that
makes it reminiscent of Pyramidella dolabrata. However, the whorls hardly
change in width after the first few whorls. The protoconch is difficult for
me to visualize but doesn't seem to be heterostrophic (reversed direction).
Could this be a terrestrial?
