that pretty much describes stomatella spp. It's not a keyhole limpet btw. Limpet mantles don't cover their shell (at least none of the ones I know of).

Yes Justinl --> I am sure now that they (I found another one while searching for the first one) are stomatella. Very cool when you look at them through a magnifying glass.

Thanks everyone!!
