There is an excellent review of many Ovulidae, including Ovula ovum, in
Liltved's book "Cowries and their relatives of Southern Africa". Also, page
199 of Wilson's "Austalian Marine Shells, Vol. 1", has a good description
of their natural history, and his earlier book,"Australian Shells (1971),
has a full page color photo of Ovula ovum with black mantle extended.
