Sorry, I can't see any shells.


Re: Mystery Seashell - paul monfils - 04-08-2012

I can't see your image either.  This seems to happen frequently.  Also, sometimes a few people can see the images while others cannot.  David Touitou, anything that can be done to improve this situation?

It is happen when you * insert image * without using pics-hoster.

Hi. It is a Strombidae shell, Lobatus (Latiolais) galeatus.

Thank you Diocrisseashells1000 for the identification of this seashell.  I've been trying to identify it for quite awhile.
(I've locked myself out of this account and had to open another one!)

For sure this is Strombus galeatus Swainson, one of the bigger (and heavier) species.
