Strange Casmaria (Cassis)
I collected this shell from dredged material from the Red Sea, Saudi Arabia many years ago.
It would appear to be a specimen of Casmaria ponderosa, (Syn. Cassis ponderosa) but it has a diagonal rib with the same markings as that around the aperture.
Could this be a freak or have I miss-identified it?
It is 45 mm in height.
