2 unknown Oliva shells
Hi Mike, the left shell is Oliva polpasta f. davisae Durham 1950. from the Gulf of California. The right shell is giving me a problem ( and I specialise in oliva!) The nearest I can get is Oliva pacifica Marrat 1870 from the W. coast of the Malayan peninsula. The colours are not quite right but it has the sharp-edged spire. Perhaps you could post a better picture of this shell on its own, that may help.
Cheers,
Dave
