Shell description

The shell has 5-5.25 whorls. [1]

The width of adult shells is 29.6-32.3 mm, the height is 15.1-17.2 mm. [1]

Scotch bonnet (sea snail) Species of mollusc

The Scotch bonnet is a medium-sized to large species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the subfamily Cassinae, the helmet shells and bonnet shells.

The shell is egg-shaped and fairly large, 2 to 4 inches in maximum dimension, with a regular pattern of yellow, orange or brown squarish spots. The surface sculpture of the shell is highly variable: the surface can be smooth and polished, have grooves, be granulated, or even be nodulose on the shoulder of the whorls.
