Extinct snail (†Harpagodes nodosus)

When looking at the fossils to this species there seems to be many varieties. Varieties of shells within the phylum: Mollusca are very common. Of (†Harpagodes nodosus) being an odd one of it's family. as most within it are more like the spider conch's of the genus Harpago and the genus: Lambis of the family: Strombidae. Some of (†Harpagodes nodosus) fossils are bumpy on the shells body whorl while the some have fine lines. There's not much data on this species and only two drawings. I deem the many forms are stages of its life from juvenile, subadult, and adult. The one I've drawn is of what seems to be an adult, and based of the other two drawings I've found of it.
