Randellidae - jason123 - 07-11-2016

I have the two shells that are marked randellidae cymatium the are about 20mm. I don't believe that they belong to the genus cymatium does anybody have suggestions

These two shells are indeed two different Cymatium species, but they are small juveniles, which makes them difficult to identify. Species in this family tend to get much thicker and heavier as they mature, so the adults often look quite different from the juveniles.
