Specimen Shells
Bargain Conidae
NOTES:1) Many of these cones are from a collection which contained many unususual
and highly interesting specimens - i hope you will take a good look, and ask for
images when in doubt!!
2) A lot of these shells are "one-sided",
meaning that one side is beautiful, and quite worthy of displaying! For
a small percentage of a "two-sided" shell, you can have an uncommon or
rare species in your collection that looks great - as long as you don't turn it over!
(or you can get two - one for each side!)
