Mediterranean Live Shells To Identify

[paul monfils]

Hi David,

The Calliostoma could be C. conulum. I think of C. conulum as a wider shell, which is why I guessed C. laugieri, which is relatively narrower, but otherwise similar. You didn't mention the size of the shell. C. conulum is a considerably larger species. If your shell is much more than 1/2 inch (12 mm) in height, it probably is C. conulum.

I'm pretty sure on the Buccinulum. There isn't anything else in the Mediterranean with this shape, that I am aware of.
