Hi Linda,

It could be an unusual variation of a junonia.  Both Scaphella junonia
and Scaphella dohrni seem to be fairly variable.  Your description makes
me think of Scaphella robusta.  Look on Richard Goldberg's website at
http://www.worldwideconchology.com.  Then look for the section which says
Marine Shell Images and then look for Volutidae.  You will see some of my
shells there.  I am looking forward to seeing the photo.

I remember talking to you at the C.O.A. bourse.  I was working for Donald
Dan at the time.
