Dear friends! I`m a beginner in shellcollecting, so I have questions much more than the shells in my collectionSmile
For the most part I identify my percious shells par le net but often.... I don`t find out any answer on my questions.
In the March 2012 I`ve brought from The Maldives some seashells of which I don`t know the names.
Please, take a look at the fotos and determine this one of the  family of Naticidae shells. These dots on the surface are so niceSmile.....

Many thanks in advance!
               
      Looks like  "Naticarius onca (Röding, 1798) "
             
            I'm not sure.
               
helmetapointe , thank you very much for the reply, your opinion makes me more assured in my guess Wink
To me it is also N. onca.
