Unknown specie - conchylinet - 02-02-2012 Hi, Can somebody name the specie from Indonesia below ? I cant place the family, it measures 18mm. Thanks Pierre Re: Unknown specie - Emma - 02-11-2012 Hi Pierre, Could it be from Lucinidae family, maybe a codakia, maybe an inmature specimen. What do you think? Warm regards, Emma. Re: Unknown specie - conchylinet - 02-14-2012 Thank you Emma, Yes perhaps it is a Lucinidae... but I am still stuck with the specie. Pierre Re: Unknown specie - Emma - 02-15-2012 Pierre, I've had a look at your web page and it is trully spectacular! My congratulations on all your hard work! Emma. Re: Unknown specie - paul monfils - 02-19-2012 Hello Pierre, After reading Emma's comment about your website, I just had to take a look too, and I must agree, it is impressive.  While I was there I took a quick run through your unidentified section, just in case I might recognize something.  Here are a few I recognized (or thought I recognized): 6073  probably Scabricola desetangsii, immature 2320  Mitra idae, immature 6372  Dendostrea frons 6033  Rapana rapiformis, juvenile 2986  pretty beat up but I believe it is Bursa rosa 3277  Hipponyx sp. 6326  Cypraecassis testiculus 6304  Cerithium litteratum 2743  Nitidella ocellata 3040  Cypraea lynx, juvenile 7520  probably Cypraea ursellus 2934  Cerithidea pliculosa 6579  Atys naucum 4485  Oliva tessellata 6613  probably Limaria fragilis, juvenile Re: Unknown specie - conchylinet - 02-20-2012 Thanks for your comments Emma and Paul. Paul, many thanks for your ids. I made a specific form to comment all the unidentified shells of this section of the website (below zoomed-in image), so you can also use it. I have too many shells there to upload them on this forum. Pierre Re: Unknown specie - paul monfils - 02-20-2012 A few more: 6213  Cyclophorus sp. (terrestrial) 7663  probably Faunus ater 3351  probably Tellina philippi 6511  Strombus microurceus 2939  Strombus tricornis, juvenile 2421  Dendostrea frons 5416 and 5564  Buccinulum corneum 7076  based on the light subsutural band, probably Mitra luctuosa 5891  may be Priotrochus obscurus, not sure 6273  Helicina aurantia (terrestrial) 5155  probably Fusinus tessellatus 6201  probably Turritella duplicata 2936  Are you sure of the locality?  This looks like Purpura patula, a Caribbean species.
