JLittlejohn Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Dug this up near the shoreline at Caspersen Beach. Looks much older than any other specimens I have found in the area along the beach, which also tend to have much more color. The defined lines and ornate features certainly stood out to me the first time I saw it. Too bad it isn't in great condition, as the original shell could have been over 8" long/tall. Haven't looked online to research it yet, so I figured I would ask on here for some expert opinions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemipristis Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Could be. It resembles a whelk, but it doesn't look like the ones I"m used to seeing: Busycon carina, B. contrarium, or B. canaliculatum. 1 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
