|
Fusitriton oregonensis (Oregon hairy triton) is a species of large predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cymatiidae.[1]
The snail was given its specific name oregonensis (meaning "of Oregon") to honor the Oregon Territory by conchologist John Howard Redfield in 1846.[2][3][4]
It was declared the state seashell of Oregon in 1989 by the 65th Legislative Assembly.[5]
