Vasum muricatum

Vasum muricatum, common name the Caribbean vase, is a species of medium to large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turbinellidae.

[2][1] Vasum muricatum has a large, thick and heavy shell that reaches a length of 50 – 100 mm.

The shell is quite elongated, conical or vase-shaped (hence the common name).

In Venezuela this species has been reported from the state of Falcon,[4] Nueva Esparta[5][6][7] and Dependencias Federales.

[8] This species is rather common and is often found in pairs in shallow water.
