Does anyone know the extinct fossil Tibias?

I have collected quite a few specimens of a species of Tibia near Ba,
Fiji. The rocks there are supposedly Pliocene, but pteropod dating
apparently places them as somewhere in the Miocene. Tibia powisi does
occur there also, but is distinct from this new beast. I think it is
undescribed.

If anyone thinks they can put an ID on it, I can send a jpeg.

There are at least 2 other new spp of fossil Tibia in Fihi, but all I
have of these are spires, no adult parts.
