Nucella lapillus bizonalis , Lamarck, J.B.P.A. de, 1822
Size
32 mm
Locality
Ras Hafun, North-Eastern Somalia
Note
This shell has a very strange history: found in a lot of material dredged by shrimp boats in the 90s, submitted by me to the opinion of R. Kilburn I was told that it could be a Pseudolividae (original Kilburn label available). Currently, most likely identified as N. lapillus bizonalis. The mystery of his discovery in deep Somali waters remains. Fine++
