Thanks
Hi,

Sorry, but this shell has nothing to deal with C. pennaceus complex. It belongs to Conus textile complex. It's difficult to identify thye species though.

If it has been found at Mauritius, it could be a juvenile specimen of Conus textile f. verriculum.

cheers,
DAVID
Thanks David

:Smile So I was right thinking I was wrong again

Identification of Cones is a nightmare for me  :'(

Cheers
I think it is just a small, prettily marked Conus textile. One of the most variable cones and with far too many named 'forms'!  Wink
Well taken
Conus textile communus juvenulum  Big Grin

Thanks to both you
