Vexillumi cf spiculum Bozzetti, 2013
25.6mm
Vexillum cf spiculum is moderately common at
Kwajalein on lagoon, pinnacle and seaward reefs in sandy areas or sand patches.
It shares many of the same habitats as Vexillum
cadaverosum and sometimes variations of the shells are hard to distinguish.
Published figures of Vexillum spiculum tend to be wider so we are leaving
the ID tentative for now, and it is possible that photos on this page show more
than one species.
The two empty shells below seem to differ somewhat in the position of the shoulder
on each whorl and in the spiral sculpture, and the two may be different species.
