I’m a little perplexed. Is this an\u00a0OLIVELLA PERPLEXA<\/a> <\/strong> shell? First of all, I couldn’t find a common name for it or a good reference for it. Not that I don’t have respect for the “real” names of the shells we find, but I just happen to prefer the common …..ok- the “easy” name. And second, I couldn’t get a good picture of it. Yet another camera died on me…grrrrr. Well, I’ve just got to get used to this Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS6.<\/p>\n

Maybe that’s a little better photo. Clark pulled this up in the sifter while looking for wentletraps. I dont think I’ve ever found these shells before but maybe I just never thought they looked like much… I don’t know…. See? I’m perplexed.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: January 22, 2014\u2026 Ive just realized that since this post was written (October 18, 2010), I have learned this shell is a WHITE MELAMPUS<\/strong><\/a>. Take a look at my post about these shells written June 19, 2012\u2026\u00a0http:\/\/www.iloveshelling.com\/blog\/2012\/06\/19\/collecting-fossils-seashells-and-memories-on-boca-grande\/<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
