Is this a Cypraea Eglantina?
My Name is Tom and I am retired from the Navy and my wife and I Â have been collecting shells for over thirty years.
<a href="http://mysite.verizon.net/respsmyc/extraveler/" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://mysite.verizon.net/respsmyc/extraveler/">http://mysite.verizon.net/respsmyc/extraveler/</a><!-- m --></a> My first post, so I hope the link works. Â It shows every angle of what I have listed in my collection as a Cypraea Eglantina. My wife found a Cypraea Scurra in Hawaii and we cannot find it in our collection any more. Â Is there any chance we misnamed this shell. Â It's too cylindrical for a Histro or Arabicia. Â I think it's too small and there are too many of the circular marks to make it an Eglantina. Â Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Â Thanks Tom |

Hi Tom, I think you will find this is your long-lost scurra! It is too elongated for eglantina and the teeth are wrong.

Dave,
I was hoping that was the case, but I couldn't find anything conclusive in the books I have. Â Thank you Tom |
