Tim,

I indicated in email this morning that this shell might be <i>Trivia californica </i>, but I was wrong.  I believe Dave is correct that it is <i>Trivia solandri</i>. The large usually white lobes along the manlte line are apparently diagnostic, plus the shell lines do not cross the midrib in the case of <i>T. solandri</i>; whereas the lines do cross in the case of T. californica.
