Talisman scrobilator

Talisman scrobilator is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Bursidae, the frog shells.

A study, published in 2019, has shown that the Atlantic-Mediterranean Talisman scrobilator forms a species complex with two extant forms, proposed as subspecies, and one fossil form:

  • Talisman scrobilator scrobilator <small>(Linnaeus, 1758)</small> (synonym: Murex scrobilator <small>Linnaeus, 1758</small>) (distribution in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea)
  • Talisman scrobilator coriaceum <small>(Reeve, 1844)</small> (synonym: Ranella coriacea <small>Reeve, 1844</small>) (distribution off West Africa)
  • Talisman nodosa (fossil from Miocene strata in the Mediterranean Sea).
