Hi all, From Cris & Kyle, along with a few other awesome seashells, I got these two great conch shells. They were found somewhere in Putnam County, Florida, and are likely from the Nashua Formation (early Pleistocene). They seem to be part of the conch shells, the Strombidae family. But I really don’t know what species. Anyone know what it could be? Thanks in advance, Max

From the album: Gastropods of the Tamiami Formation
Order LittorinimorphaFamily StrombidaeLobatus cf. gigas (Linneaus, 1758)Location: Imokalee (Golden Gate Member), Collier County, Florida USA. Status: ExtinctNotes: Originally identified as L. dominator. After consultation with Stromboidea experts, original identification within the Golden Gate Member was incorrect. Closest resemblance is to the extant Queen Conch, Lobatus gigas. -
