Field Notes

Description:

The only information that i have of this snail shell is that it has a spiral which is of @ 3 inches in diameter. The width of the snail seems to be 3 inches too. I have no idea of the time and location but it is lovely!!Looks like Dr Doolitles snail.Pic 5 shows the umbilicus.
