? on Buccinum
Found this on Oberculum of boiled "Buccinum undatum"
Looks like egg-bags too me.
Some ideas ?

Re: ? on Buccinum
Yes, these do appear to be Buccinum egg sacs.  Odd place for them to be attached.  Not that odd I guess - I have found them attached to Buccinum shells, presumably laid by other individuals.  So I suppose if one Buccinum got rolled over, and another was seeking a hard surface on which to attach its egg cases ...
