Neritina?

[conchylinet]

Hi
I believe this shell is a Neritina but I cannot determine the specie. Any help is welcome. The shell was beached in Mauritius and is 14mm long.

Hi Pierre,
My guess is it looks like vittina serrulata which can be found in Indonesia, but i dont know if it can also be found in Mauritius, or maybe that is vittina natalensis which is very variable in pattern. But this is just my guess, i hope this info could help in someway to determine your shell.

cheers,
Diocris.

I would go with natalensis, although it is a bit worn which does not help. As Diocris says, it is very variable plus it does occur on Mauritius.

Thanks for this id. I will go with natalensis then.
