Family:
Buccinoidae (Whelks,
False Tritons) "The Buccinidae shell is usually characterized by rather deep sutures, a strong spiral shape, and a smooth surface generally without knobs, varices or similar ornamentation. The aperture is large, with a flaring lip that the whelk uses as a wedge to pry open the valves of all kinds of bivalve. Whelks are basically scavengers, and not particular as to what kind of clam they attack. They feed on carrion as well (Nielsen)..." Archerd Collection |

Family:
Melongenidae
(Whelks, Melon & Crown Conches) "This family includes several distinctive shell forms. Whelks are generally found along the Atlantic coast of North America, particularly in muddy bays and estuaries, where they are the most conspicuous gastropods. Crown and melon conches are more tropically distributed and typically found in brackish or muddy waters near mangrove forests. All are carnivorous, feeding on clams and oysters. Whelks use their shell lip to pry open a clam sufficiently for inserting the proboscis and commencing feeding..." Arched Collection |

Fasciolariidae
(Tulips, Spindle Shells, Horse Conchs) "The family Fasciolariidae contains a wide variety of groups, such as the tulip shells, the horse conchs, and the spindle shells. All of them are carnivorous, usually feeding on bivalves and other snails. Most of them live near coral reefs or rocks offshore in tropical and semitropical waters. Shells of the Genus Fasciolaria (tulips) are densely porcelain-like and rather large. They have a large body whorl, two or more folds on the columella, a short syphonal canal, and may be attractively patterned. ..." Archerd Collection |

(Dove Shells) "Large family of numerous genera and many species living in warm and tropical waters. Some dove shells are tiny, few exceed an inch. Scavenging carnivores, they are especially active at night when they may be seen in sandy and muddy places at low tide. The family (which is also called Pyrenidae) is well represented in tropical waters. [from A&D, p.159] Archerd Collection |

The coumella bears three to five, strong spiral teeth. They have a chitinous. claw-like operculum, and a quite large foot, which is characteristic of the Turbinellidae molluscs. The foot is used for smothering and feeding on worms and clams. Chanks are found in tidal muds, mainly of the Indian ocean and the Caribbean....Archerd Collection |

Columellar folds are especially remarkable at the lower end of an elongated aperture. Most have both a short, deep syphonal canal and a canal at the top of the aperture. The Collection has a number of volutes exceeding 4 inches in size. There are about 200 species of volutes. All of them are carnivorous, feeding on small marine invertebrate animals. Most of them inhabit deep seas and are abundant in warm, temperate waters, expecially around the coasts of Australia..."Archerd Collection |

The spire is usually rounded off and short, or sunken below the enameled surface. Much like the cowries or the ovulas, the mantle flaps cover the shell, protecting its high polish. Most species are less than 3/4 inch, although a few larger species from West Africa may exceed 2 inches in size (Keen, 1958). ..." Archerd Collection |
