unknown Murex - conchylinet - 09-22-2011 Hello I think this Murex is very common but I dont know its specie. The shell come from Thailand (Phucket) but I dont have any size provided. Ta Pierre Re: unknown Murex - paul monfils - 09-22-2011 Appears to be Murex trapa. Re: unknown Murex - Emma - 09-23-2011 Pierre, Could you post a photo of its mouth to see if it is banded? Best wishes, Emma. Re: unknown Murex - conchylinet - 09-23-2011 Thanks Paul. Emma, unfortunately I dont have the specimen and cant make photo. Feel free to make suggestion(s) from that angle. Pierre Re: unknown Murex - Emma - 09-26-2011 Paul is probably right Pierre, he has a lot more experience than me at naming shells, but I must confess it looks so familiar, it reminds me of one I have in my collection. If I come up with a different name, I will post it! Best wishes, Emma. Re: unknown Murex - dave r - 09-26-2011 I would agree with trapa. Re: unknown Murex - conchylinet - 09-27-2011 Thank you all for that id.
