Unknown Conch
This shell recently came into my possession and I am having trouble identifying it.
It is 52 mm in length.

RE: Unknown Conch
Hello,

It looks like Strombus canarium Linnaeus, 1758.

Bye
DAVID

RE: Unknown Conch
Thanks David.
That's what I thought, but it doesn't have the fine markings seen on Strombus canarium as pictured on the 'Conchology' website.
