shell found near Seattle
Hi there. I don't know how it got all the way up there but I would say it is a <i>Hexaplex nigritus</i> or Black Murex which hails from the Gulf of California. There are a few similar species ranging from California to Ecuador but, although very eroded and damaged, yours looks like nigritus.
