Cones id confirmation - dave r - 02-03-2009
Looks like coronatus, juvenile striatus and catus to me, though I am not 100% about the last one.

I lean toward Conus miliaris for the first one, though it could be C. coronatus which is quite a variable species.

Yes Paul,on a closer look I think you are right with miliaris.
