Can you help identify this gastropod?

[Stanleon]

Can you help me identify or confirm this? I think it is a Fasciolaria scalarina. What do you think?

It is a small horse conch Triplofusus giganteus.

I thought so too, but the aperture of Triplofusus giganteus is way wider wider? Why is that? For me I found it doesn't match.

In addition, I have doubts about this (see images). The first lne with notable spine I think it is Phyllonotus globosus

 

While the second I believe to be Chicoreus floridanus. Are my right?

 

But the way I am a fan of your writing here on Tamiami Formation. I am currently doing a paleoenvironmental reconstruction of Units 6/7. Your write up helped alot. 

 

Please I will appreciate your response on the wider nature of aperture of Triplofusus giganteus on Google images than my image. Thank you so much

It is the sculpture--scalarina is quite different LINK.

Thanks for your response, do you mean this image below with known spines is Chicoreus floridanus? Sorry for confusing it.

No need to apologize.  It took a long time for me to "get it right" and I still make mistakes.  Some collectors totally disagree with my approach, but I really don't care any longer.

 

Yes, the one with the spines is C. floridanus LINK.  Spine length is variable, but typically get shorter as the animal aged.
