C. Pennaceus marmoricolor (f) ? - underwaterdream - 02-19-2013 Dear all, I need again some help to confirm this one. My guess is a juvenile specimen of Darioconus pennaceus marmoricolor Origin of the shell - Mauritius Wrong again  ?

Pennaceus marmoricolor (f) ? - david touitou - 02-22-2013 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 Re: C. Pennaceus marmoricolor (f) ? - underwaterdream - 02-22-2013 Thanks David : So I was right thinking I was wrong again Identification of Cones is a nightmare for me  :'( Cheers Re: C. Pennaceus marmoricolor (f) ? - dave r - 02-23-2013 I think it is just a small, prettily marked Conus textile. One of the most variable cones and with far too many named 'forms'!  Re: C. Pennaceus marmoricolor (f) ? - underwaterdream - 02-26-2013 Well taken Conus textile communus juvenulum  Thanks to both you
