Description: Queen tegula Trochidae (Top Shell family) South-Central, California, USA www.flickr.com/photos/50823119@N08/6477936735/in/photostr.. NOTE: I have not collected live shells since the mid-1970's. I believe that the animal itself is much more valuable alive than destroyed for its shell. It is for this reason that I will only collect beach/forest shells from deceased specimens. Date: 30 November 2011, 12:20. Source: Tegula regina Uploaded by Tim1357.
