See list Euspira nitida, the common necklace shell, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Naticidae, the moon snails.
[1] The common necklace shell is a common sea snail occurring in the sublittoral zone and deeper waters (exceptionally up to 2,000 m) along sandy coasts of the North Sea, from France to Norway, and the North East Atlantic (Iceland).
It can be frequently found in great numbers washed ashore on beaches.
Its color is a pale brown-yellow stained with orange to red-brown spots, arranged in four to five spiral lines.
Euspira nitida (Donovan, 1804) is the earliest available name for the common, shallow water, small-sized Euspira species that, in the Atlantic, has been called alderi, and in the Mediterranean has been called pulchella.
