Gregory Kruse Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hello, Is there anyone that can point me to the correct genus species of these gastropods? Are they in the family Buccinidae? See reference here: https://neogeneatlas.net/species/busycotypus-scotti/. I found them at the Sanibel Causeway where they had a fresh stockpile of shells for landscaping. Therefore the provenance is unfortunately unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I agree they are Buccinoideae and Busycotypus seems to be a good identification. https://www.fossilshells.nl/Flor/florpleipliga062.html "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry) "We only well see with the heart, the essential is invisible for the eyes." In memory of Doren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
