Hello, ¿anybody knows the specie of this Monodonta/Gibbula? It comes from the mediterranean coast of Spain.

Thanks.

Hi, Carlos,

might be (!) Gibbula divaricata, but I´m not sure at all (the specimen is kind of "very beach".....).

I think it is divaricata too, but beter photos of a cleaned up specimen would help a lot.  Wink

I also agree it to be G divaratica (Linnaeus 1767). Pierre.
