Are you asking it the marble is a Ravenswood or if it is a Ravenswood Raven?  Definitely not a Raven but more pictures would help regarding if it is a Ravenswood.

Just a Ravenswood, not a specific raven. The sellers pictures are a bit dark but I don't want to bother them for more. 

I recently discovered from a good friend that my collection of ravens woods were mostly champions and alleys 😄 wondering what I had gotten wrong.

IMHO, it’s either Alley or Ravenswood.  Many are a toss up between the two.  Ravenswood is known for having a “racing stripe” in clear swirls , frequently 9/16”, having folds and twists and dives to the ribbons like worm holes.  Swirls tend to cover more surface of the marble and a “wadded up” appearance to the swirl.

Random question, is there a book on swirls with this type of helpful information?

Not that I am aware of.  If there is, I’ll be in line to purchase a copy!

Only WV swirl books I know of, there are probably some listed here sand there in other ID books but no speciality books like these. Steven Bahrs vids are probably the best all around resource there is.
