PLease help identify shell - shellhunk - 04-17-2007 HI! I found this shell in the internet and it is labeled cypraea armeniaca 50mm. Of course it is not armeniaca but what is it? <a href="http://www.badongo.com/pic/580207" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.badongo.com/pic/580207">http://www.badongo.com/pic/580207</a><!-- m --></a> Chris PLease help identify shell - shellhunk - 04-17-2007 I did some research. Is it a cypraea lynx vanelli?  <img src="images/smiley/dingo.gif" alt="" border="0" /> Chris PLease help identify shell - paul monfils - 04-17-2007 Looks to me like an ordinary Cypraea lynx, badly faded and no doubt beach collected.  The "vanelli" form is more elongate.
