Mitridae
Updated August
23, 2010
Note: The Costellariidae and its close cousin 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 have fun!
