i think that this is a florida land snail - which produce one of the deadliest toxins known on earth. i'm not positive though as it's been years since i've studied gastropods. whatever this one is, the pattern on it is beautiful - little teepees - lots of them!
That pattern is fantastic isn't it! Imagine that on a piece of porcelain - the world would go wild for it.
It is a fine pattern.
Not a land snail, it is a sea shell! Conus textile... But you are right, very deadly !
