Hey Dante,

Long time. The gastropod you have listed as a Neptunea (family Buccinacea) is in the family Turbinidae, probably in the genus Margarites. If you send me the size and a view of the underside I can identify it for you.

Best,

Chuck

Dear Robyn and Aisha,

Thanks for the comments. I’d love to think that I can get a few more folks to appreciate the incredible biodiversity in deeper waters.

Cheers & Thanks

Thanks Henry.
I am fortunate to have good friends with MBARI who allow me to tag along and photograph some of the deep water wildlife they encounter. I’ve made some great friends in this community of deep sea biologists and am so appreciative of everything they have allowed me to do. I’m hoping for a lot more of this kind of work. Thanks so much for checking the site out again!
