    This is not a Typhis

    the name of the species is Murex (Poiriera) fraterculus

    a few copies of my collection

    Sincerely

    Hm, I had definitely looked M. fraterculus up but the shell was too smooth compared to mine. Do you have a close-up of your specimens? or a reference to a better picture?

    Hello
    sorry to reply so late, but I have trouble using the forum, so I gave up. I will try again.
    Maybe my English is not very good because I use Google translation.
    to return to your shell, it is a Murex fraterculus
    here is the description of the shell in the iconography of Cossmann and Pissarro, and two copies of my collection
    169-16 Murex (Poiriera) fraterculus
    See you soon
    Vincent
