So a few more gastropod pics

[Plantguy]

So I ran across 2 more gastropods from Sarasota Florida APAC that have been hiding in the garage--well maybe not hiding--just buried in the junk. Doesnt seem to be something common unless I have some tiny ones somewhere.

Probably Tamiami Fm. Plio-Pleistocene.

 

Thought they were the same initially and I had lumped them together. But now I see the one on the right has a depressed end. So maybe a Prunum sp. and a Bullata sp? that would be cool. 

Thanks for the looks and any feedback.

Hi Chris

 

The shell on the left looks as if it has four columellar plaits.  If so it is Microspira oliviformis (Tuomey & Holmes, 1857).  If it has five it will be a different species.  The one on the right is Bullata taylori (Olsson, 1916).  Both belong to the Family Marginellidae.
