Here is a picture of a Strombus bubonius (Lamarck, 1822) gastropod fossil at the Museo di Paleontologia at Sapienza University of Rome Italy. Creatures like this existed at the time of the middle/late Pleistocene Period (geological timescale: Tyrrhenian). Fossil was found in Rovagnese-Calabria, Italy.
Image taken in June 2014.
Another name it is referred to is Persististrombus latus (Gmelin, 1791).
