Hello
I think this Murex is very common but I dont know its specie.
The shell come from Thailand (Phucket) but I dont have any size provided.

Appears to be Murex trapa.

Pierre,

Could you post a photo of its mouth to see if it is banded?

Best wishes,

Emma.

Thanks Paul.
Emma, unfortunately I dont have the specimen and cant make photo. Feel free to make suggestion(s) from that angle.

Paul is probably right Pierre, he has a lot more experience than me at naming shells, but I must confess it looks so familiar, it reminds me of one I have in my collection. If I come up with a different name, I will post it! Best wishes, Emma.

I would agree with trapa.

Thank you all for that id.
