Scutus antipodes
About 8-10cm long. It is a marine snail with a white shield-like shell on its back. The shell is usually covered by flaps of the mantle, but they sometimes withdraw slightly to expose part of the shell. A member of the limpet family, this snail is easy to identify because of its large size and black colour.
