''Nassarius fossatus'', the channeled basket snail, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Nassariidae, the Nassa mud snails or dog whelks. It is native to the west coast of North America where it is found on mudflats on the foreshore and on sand and mud in shallow water. ==Description== This is one of the largest mud snails in the genus and has a robust shell that can reach nearly long. The width of the body whorl of the spirally coiled shell is about half the total length of the shell and there are about six further whorls of diminishing size. There is a distinctive transverse groove on the lowermost portion of the body whorl. The surface of the shell is sculpted with fine axial ribs and spiral ridges, giving it a basket-like texture. The aperture is less than half the diameter of the shell and can be closed by a horny operculum. There is a siphonal notch at the edge of the aperture through which a breathing siphon can be extended. The lip of the aperture is finely toothed at the margin and slightly ridged inside. The columella (the central supporting structure around which the shell is coiled) is thickened at the aperture and is usually orange. The rest of the shell surface is grayish-brown or ashy gray and is matt in appearance.
