Gotta buy Gottshall's Pacific Coast Invertebrates book. I've been checking out some of the really cool snails we have around here lately and I don't know what half of them are. Here are a few samples from recent dives.

Ida's Miter (Mitra idae)

Couple of shots of Kellet's Whelks laying eggs. They were mating and laying everywhere for about 2 weeks.
