content: Style: Columella Raw Material 2: Busycon Element: Apical fragments w/ short spines Alteration: Weathered Manufacturing Notes: On the less deteriorated specimens faint smoothing tracks around shoulders can be seen. Residue: Patches of brown residue, some w/mat impression. Use Trace: All are broken distally, w/ distal tips in various stages of deterioration. 9 have damage to the apex, so that in most cases the inner spine is exposed. Comments: One is very small and may represent a whole shell of a smaller species of whelk. Generally, these are all small and are probably not from very large molluscs. These were clustered because they are all relatively small and flat and will fit underneath another stacked tray without damage. Part 8 of 10
