Most workers now use what was once the subgenera classifications for Turritella as the genus under the family Turritellidae based upon the work of Turgeon et al. 1998. Your turritella is not wagneriana and similar to Bactrospira perattenuata, but looks to be Bactrospira terebriformis (Dall, 1892) from the Upper Pliocene Pinecrest beds. Your terebra (subgenera Myruellina) is not unilineata which is wider and shorter than that in your picture. I have found Terbra unilineata in the Duplin Formation of North Carolina. I believe yours is Terbra (Myruellina) miamica Olsson, 1967 which is found in the Pinecrest Beds of the Tamiami. Your worm tube is a gastropod in the family Turritellidae, Vermicularia woodringi Olsson & Harbinson, 1953.
