Re: can you id this shell,is there a name for this? - diocrisseashells1000 - 06-14-2011 Hello again Paul, that was a great info you gave, i search the word eucyclostoma and you are very right on the family on the photo i gave.  it looks like e.tricarinata except mine has almost flatten cord, anyway the size is 5/8 inch,probably 17-19 mm. if i not mistaken,( i am not good in measurements) :-[ Thanks again & happy shelling. ps.  hope they consider the name i put on the flickr.lol
