I have been using Snyder's book on Fasciolariidae to help resolve the multitude of different fossil species within the family in my collection. I see that Fasciolaria lilium and F. hunteria are both used for the recent common tulip shell. Snyder lists F. lilium and F. lilium hunteria as valid. Does someone have a short description of the differences between the two?
