Mississippi gastropod - tom heimer - 04-18-2012
Can anyone ID the shell found at the start of this video? It is about 2-3" and found near shore in Miss. Sound. Very common. Google: MOVO2C Shells at Biloxi - YouTube  Anyone know the scientific and common name? Thanks in advance.

I think it could be this:

But it is hard to tell from moving pictures. Can you take any stills photos of them?
They could even possibly be this:

I have found out that it is this: Google: Stramonita canaliculata Gray, 1839 (Southern Oyster Drill). Thanks.
