Do the shells have data-slips inside (name + where the shells were collected?) As far as I can see
it is a batch of common shells like: Cypraea tigris (2 specimens), Cons striatus L. (2 specimens), Conus eburneus Hwass, Lambis lambis L, Cymatium lotorium L., Terebra maculata L., etc.etc.
How big is the biggest Cypraea tigris L. (Tiger Cowry)?
