Strombidae sp. - diocrisseashells1000 - 04-15-2012 Hi, This strombidae is from Philippines,63.5mm. in size, It looks like a S.aurisdianae except it doesnt have any "fingerlike"projection but have a thin lip,. it might be an immature specie but here in the Philippines the 63mm size of aurisdianae is already full adult, I hope someone could help me to determine this shell Many thanks. Re: Strombidae sp. - paul monfils - 04-16-2012 Yes, it's an immature aurisdianae.  You can't judge maturity by size.  I have seen fully mature specimens 50-55 mm, and immature specimens 60-65 mm and larger. Re: Strombidae sp. - dave r - 04-16-2012 I agree with Paul, immature aurisdianae. Re: Strombidae sp. - diocrisseashells1000 - 04-17-2012 Hello Paul & Dave, Many thanks for your both confirmation,. Happy Shelling.
