Thanks! wich crassispira?? - paul monfils - 04-29-2010 Assuming it is a Crassispira, which I couldn't say for certain, the shell is so smoothed by erosion that the original sculpture is virtually gone.  Based on the ground color and the light subsutural band, Crassispira discors would be a possibility, though it is a little large for that species.  Otherwise perhaps the similar Crassispira rustica. wich crassispira?? - lorquinianus - 04-30-2010 Thank you Paul! I Assumed it was that genus because it was the most common in the area wih that form. It is definetly the right family ins´t? Thank you!
