Hi!

Could number 1 be an inmature member of the columbellidae family?

Best wishes,

Emma.
Hello Emma,
Thanks for your response, but i dont think it is immature collumbellidae sp. If you look at the picture on the #1:3 photo, there is a comparisson on it to Melampus nucleolus, they are both the same features except the other one has a much tall-spire.

cheers,
Diocris.
