To All,
I have put some images of a couple shells on Ross's Conch-L shell page I
need help with. The first is a beautiful little orange murex from Panama
(thanks to Mark Bethke). I do not have a clue on this guy. I assume it's
from the Pacific side -- but it's a narrow isthmus so I could be wrong.
The second image is of three Indian Ocean Nassariidae I have always
identified as Bullia tranquebarica (Roding, 1798). Recently my
identification was called into question. So have I missed the boat on
these? If so I apologize to anyone I may have sent some in trade.
Thanks for all opinions and especially to Ross for providing this helpful
adjunct to Conch-L. The shells are at
