Hints for # 6

A quick reminder that no-one has yet made a guess for Name the Bug #6. So a couple of hints:

(1) Devonian

(2) Aydin's comment that the animal is sinistral is incorrect, or at least not entirely correct.

    (2a) Take a close look at the protoconch.

    Is the photo #8 showing the protoconch? Then it is heterostrophic, that is, starting out as a dextral shell, then turning around to become sinistral.

    Is it an ellobiid?
