Dave are you there, I need your help with another shell PLEASE
Okay the shells you id for were part of a box of shells I bought at an Estate sell.  It's a hobby of mine by and resaling on Ebay. It gives me somethings to do. But anyways most of the shells were in boxes with little papers saying what they are. So I listed them think it was the correct information. Well I just recived and email from a gentleman from Portugal telling me that it is listed with the wrong information. This is what he wrote.

This shell it is not well described. It is in fact a Ceratostoma foliatum Gmelin, 1791 . By the way an outstanding peice . It is rare in such quality an it seems to me to be an "albino" specimen. I think that you made a confusion between Bolinus cornutus ( West Africa ) and Pteropurpura trialata ( California and Baja ). All these 3 species belong to the Muricidae familly but they are inserted in three different genus. Kind regards Kind regards


This is the auction in question I do have 12 people watching it,
My question is. Is he correct on my having the wrong information.
