Dear Olivier Caro & Richard Petit, also see the great booklet: Seashells of Russia in colour (Conchiglie a colori dei mari di Russia). Igor Bogdanov & Boris Sirenko. Editrice La Conchiglia - Roma 1993. There, about 60 Buccinum sp. are pictured. Page 29: Buccinum strigillatum Dall, 1891 (Pl.22, fig.10). Syn.: B. sandersi Martin, 1914. Distribution: N.Pacific, Guadalupe Is. to W.Alaska, and Paramushir I. to Bering Str. 40-1480 m, uncommon. Fig. 10: Paramushir I., H= 46 mm. But the identification of your Buccinum_sp. is very difficult.
