Classic Maya Shell Belt
Hi James,

Definitely Oliva, not Olivella.  The image is a bit small on my monitor screen but I would guess Oliva spicata, assuming they are from the west coast.  If there is any chance they might be Caribbean then they could be Oliva reticularis but I think O. spicata is more likely.  The apparently darker shells peeking out from underneath might be Oliva polpasta, but I can't see them well enough to say anything more definite than that.  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2009-03-21 17:05:48 --</span>
