New Jersey to Labrador. Common in the deeper parts of Vineyard 
Sound, near its mouth, and off Gay Head and Buzzard’s Bay, 10 to 25 
fathoms; off Block Island, 29 fathoms; very common in Casco Bay, Bay 
of Fundy, and Gulf of Saint Lawrence, 3 to 80 fathoms. Sandy Hook,

Fossil in the Post-Pliocene of Gardiner’s Island; Nantucket and Point 
Shirley, Massachusetts; and Labrador. The Miocene form, C. granu-
