Hi Maurizio,
Some of the places I've found different Oliva species
are also small gravel instead of sand. Only rarely do
I encounter the ones with erosion on the shells, though
it does happen occasionally in most of the species I find.
The scratches or erosion show up most often on Oliva
sericea, occasionally on O. miniacea, and very rarely
on O. caerulea.
Cheers,
Don
