Description:

Queen tegulaTrochidae (Top Shell family)South-Central, California, USAwww.flickr.com/photos/50823119@N08/6477932523/NOTE: I have not collected live shells since the mid-1970's. I believe that the animal itself is much more valuable alive than destroyed for its shell. It is for this reason that I will only collect beach/forest shells from deceased specimens.
