Details

Maximum size: 120 mm. Occurrence: Indian Ocean, East of India, Western Pacific, from the Philippines to Australia. The difference between canarium and turturella lies in the global shape of the shell and the pattern. The canarium is much more robust in shape than the more slender tururella. Also the turturella is usually not called a pattern and the canarium has a zigzag pattern.
