Terebra elliscrossi (Bratcher, 1979)
77.2mm

Terebra elliscrossi is known at Kwajalein from just a couple of specimens found in sand at depths of 50 to 60m on the seaward reef. There is some question whether this is really T. elliscrossi or a related species that is as yet undescribed.

We do not have a photo of the living specimen from Kwajalein. The photo below appears to be the same species from a 65m dive at a site called the Ammo Dump in the Russell Islands, Solomon Islands. It is a gradual sandy slope with outcrops of live artillery shells dumped after World War II.
