Unknown from Mauritius - conchylinet - 06-29-2009 Hello, I need help with the specie below, even the family would be welcome. It is from Mauritius and the length of the piece is 19mm. <img src="http://www.conchylinet.com/Images/Misc/4676.JPG" alt="http://www.conchylinet.com/Images/Misc/4676.JPG" style="border:0" /> Thanks. Unknown from Mauritius - dave r - 06-30-2009 Not really enough there to identify, possibly Turritellidae? or maybe even Terebridae. Unknown from Mauritius - paul monfils - 07-02-2009 Perhaps a piece of a Terebra funiculata.  The two strong spiral cords close together are an unusual characteristic of that species, and it is found in Mauritius. Unknown from Mauritius - conchylinet - 07-02-2009 Thanks Dave and Paul. The id. T. funiculata is satisfying. I hope to find a better shaped one later.
