Maoricolpus roseus
Turritellidae
Huia(Opposite side of Manukau heads),Auckland,NZ (North island)
Beached dead shell
29,May,2019
Shell length:57mm
Shell is very pointed,reddish brown. Aperture is embayment.
This species live in sand bottom,and common in shore of NZ.
Unfortunately,almost all this shell on the shore is chipped. Because,It's very thin and narrow.
I think this species is one of the most beautiful seashells in NZ shore.
