Re: Olives: two doubtful specimens
Hi Cebrizi2. I have looked again at the shells and I think that is what they are judging by the actual shell characters and locality. Are you 100% certain they are Indian Ocean specimens? If so the names I gave are the most likely candidates. Both are quite variable species and the caerulea may be a little juvenile which may explain the columella differences.
I have an extensive Olividae reference collection and several books too so if you need any other specimens determined let me know and I will do my best to help.
Cheers,
Dave
