Urosalpinx cinerea, common name the eastern oyster drill, Atlantic oyster drill, or just oyster drill, is a species of small predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murexes or rock snails. This snail uses chemoreception to locate its invertebrate prey, which is typically a sessile or encrusting organism that is unable to escape its pursuer. The chemoreception hunting strategy involves detecting microscopic particles that its prey releases into the sea water.
