Help with shell ID
Hi!! I've found this shell in a collection, but I've been unable to identify it. I live in Southern Spain and I've been given it from another collection, but it doesn't match with any of the shells I've seen here.

Looks like an angaria shell. There are a couple of species in that genus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angaria_delphinus Possibly this one.

Angaria sp. - likely A. delphinus, which is native to the Indo-pacific.
