				oxymeris maculatus confirmation 
				 
					Dear all, 
				
				
				
			I am almost sure that this is an oxymeris maculatus. Only the color seems unusual. Are they various forms of maculatus or this is just a color variation. Does someone knows how common is this color variation ? Many questions :o , thanks for any help https://imageshack.com/a/img32/5359/n73o.jpg  |

					Yes, this is Oxymeris maculatus.  The rusty color is due to mineral staining.  It occurs on many kinds of shells which live on iron-rich sediment, especially those which burrow in it.
