Order Neogastropoda
Family Muricidae

Calotrophon ostearum conradi (Mansfield, 1930)

Statigraphy:  Pinecrest Sand Member of the Tamiami Formation

Location: APAC, Sarasota County, Florida USA.

Status: Extinct

 

Notes:  The spire is higher and body whorl sculpture stronger than extant C. ostrearum.  Possible intergrades exist between C. ostrearum and C. ostrearum conradi would exclude C. conradi to be considered a separate species, however it is a form that does not exist in recent populations.
