Family Lists
Note:
The Costellariidae and its close cousins in the family Mitridae are generally underrated by collectors, perhaps because
many of them are a bit smaller than the average shiny cowrie or cone,
murex or volute, and identification is notoriously difficult!! That
said, they endlessly delight the eye and mind with a surprising array
of sculptures (ie, surface features), forms and patterns, as well as often
being quite colorful. If you have overlooked them in the past, or
just wish to try something different, I strongly recommend these two kindred
families. Get yourself a hand lens for the smaller ones (LOTS of things
look better up close!!), and prepare to enjoy. |

(It's best to include stock number, species
and price when ordering - thanks!)
P.S.: Yes we are aware that this family
contains a genus called Costellaria... but vexing question of which
Vexillum was now being called Costellaria, created a monstrous
mess on this list - so we scrapped the genus for the sake of both expediency
AND sanity!!
