ABOUT THE MARLIN SPIKE AUGER SEA SHELL: Terebra Maculata aka Oxymeris Maculata, common name the Marlin Spike Auger Shell, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Terebridae, the auger snails. This species occurs in the Red Sea and in the Indian Ocean off Aldabra, Chagos, Madagascar, the Mascarene Basin, Mauritius and Tanzania; in the Pacific Ocean off Mexico; also off Papua New Guinea. The Terebridae, commonly referred to as auger shells or auger snails, is a group or family of small to large predatory marine gastropods. These gastropods have extremely high spired shells with numerous whorls, and the common name refers to the resemblance of their shells to drill bits. There are more than 400 known recent species worldwide. The shells of the sea snails in this family are typically shaped like slender augers or screws. In that respect they share certain shell characters with turret shells. These snails are sand-dwelling carnivores which live in warmer waters. In most species, a venomous barb similar to that of the cone snails, is used to stun and immobilize prey.
