Northwest florida species list - Gulf Coast Shell Club

NORTHWEST FLORIDA SPECIES LIST 

This list, which contains shells found in the onshore and offshore waters of the Florida 

Panhandle, was prepared by the members of the Gulf Coast Shell Club. The list is 

arranged alphabetically by family. The numbers to the left of the shell name refer to the 

corresponding species as found in American Seashells, Second Edition by Dr R. Tucker 

Abbott. An asterisk indicates that a name change to the family, species, genus, (or all) 

has occurred since publication. Shells annotated with a superscript 1 indicate form names 

that may or may not be valid but are useful for identification. Shells annotated with a 

superscript 2 are shells from the 1994 Keeler and Robertson survey of the Apalachicola 

Marine Estuary and immediate offshore areas. These represent species not currently 

collected by GCSC members that are deemed native to our area. Columns have been 

added to reflect the most frequently used common name for the shell and its normal adult 

size range. There are 627 shells (including forms) on this list as of the latest update in 

May, 2011. Our thanks goes to Dr. Harry Lee of the Jacksonville Shell Club for his 

assistance in this compilation.
