Description
The lettered olive (Americoliva sayana) is a species of sea snail from the western Atlantic. It is a predatory snail that feeds in shallow waters. A lettered olive attacks by ensnaring bivalves or crustaceans with its foot and burrowing into the sand with them to begin digesting. Their shells have been used in the traditional jewelry of local peoples.
