unknown Murex
Hello

Pierre,

Could you post a photo of its mouth to see if it is banded?

Best wishes,

Emma.

Re: unknown Murex
Thanks Paul.
Emma, unfortunately I dont have the specimen and cant make photo. Feel free to make suggestion(s) from that angle.

Re: unknown Murex
Paul is probably right Pierre, he has a lot more experience than me at naming shells, but I must confess it looks so familiar, it reminds me of one I have in my collection. If I come up with a different name, I will post it! Best wishes, Emma.
