Howdy Folks!
Jenny and I are new to the forum. Â We are organizing our collection, and have not been able to identify this cone. It is 38 mm long...have no clue of locale or data details. Â Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Folks, Welcome to the forum. This is Conus spectrum.
Thanks Paul. If that is the case, I believe I purchased that one from you 10 years ago, from Keppel Bay, Queensland, Australia.
Here is one more that needs an ID:

Thanks so much

That looks to me like Conus amadis.
Thanks for the help, Dave.Â
Does resemble Conus amadis, but it's a very unusual pattern, and the shell seems rather short and wide for amadis. I would check out Conus malacanus as well.
That makes sense. I did have a malacanus unaccounted for.... from India. Thanks again, Paul.
The first one is indeed the Australian form of Conus spectrum. The second one is Conus malacanus!
Paul
