Thanks to all who identified my friend's mother's mystery shell as an
Indo-Pacific Trochid. How it got to northern Arkansas will have to
remain a mystery. I suspect since it wasn't the prettiest shell in the
shell pack from the Philippines someone must have thrown it away some
years back.
Thanks again,
Steven

Okay, it is a trochid, but...
a) not a Calliostoma
b) not American
The twisted columella places it as a Tectus sp. Someone dropped it...
possibly many years ago.
