Yes exactly. I didn't take time to look up the currently valid genus name.
This is the shell: <a href="http://www.gastropods.com/5/Shell_3745.shtml" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gastropods.com/5/Shell_3745.shtml">http://www.gastropods.com/5/Shell_3745.shtml</a><!-- m --></a>

Sure looks like angustata, but I'm surprised to see it from the Philippines. Â It is typically an Indian Ocean species. Â Not that surprising though - you never know what is going to turn up in the Philippines. Can anyone confirm that it actually does occur in the Philippines?

Paul,just because it came in a bag of shells from the Philippines does not necessarily mean it actually came from there!<img src="images/smiley/wink.gif" alt="" border="0" />
