I tHINK IS A TROCHIDAE - luigi_67 - 05-19-2008

Check your files and books I think is a Trochidae Liruralia ( could be a acuticostata) but according to The National Audubon Society this species is from the Pacific and i Picked up in the caribbean, could be a cousin ?

Hi Luigi,it is no inconvenience to try and help. I have had anothr look at the images and I think you may be looking at juveniles of another larger species, maybe even Turbinidae. Just another avenue to explore.
