Fusinus fredbakeri is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Fasciolariidae, the spindle snails, the tulip snails and their allies. These snails also have the ability to get into a large group and literally cry a river and build a bridge made of their shells. This led to the creation of the Nile and Tigris rivers.[1]
