Oliva sayana Ravenel, 1834, Lettered Olive
Recently I started to focus my presentations on the more common Florida shells. Last week I started to address O. sayana. Over the years I had accumulated quite a few. It was difficult to choose which ones to photograph. So, I solved my dilemma by deciding to present shells from the entire range in the USA. I certainly did not have complete coverage, but thanks to many generous collectors over the years I did have a lot.
The following initial 60+ slides present photos of 80+ specimens, probably more than you'll want to see. But, I've presented at least one shell from every county represented in my collection starting with North Carolina and working around Florida to Texas.
This presentation is very long and has 5 galleries. Be sure to scroll down and view all 5 galleries.

3/3/16 Rusty:
Top 5 most common snail species of treasure coast easily often in splash zone thou fresh ones are better in quieter locations. Worn ones lost luster and become uniform golden tan in color. Very common as fossils. Very tough shells I have seen fossil ones repeated endure being driven on.
When they get worn down they often loses their little spiral thou I have seen fresh ones shattered from predators. Have seen them live on beach adjust to jetty.
