Order Neogastropoda

Superfamily Conoidea

Turrids

Turrids include several loosely related families that capture prey with a venomous barb, and their apertures features a 'turrid notch' near the upper corner.  They inhabit rock, rubble or sand at any depth and many adults attain less than a centimeter, or half an inch in height.  New species continue to be described from sediment samples.
