RE: Continuation of previous post: 3 remaining pics--Shells ID/Specimen quality?
Hello,
I have finally found time to take a look at the shells in these two photos. I recognize most of them. A few I am uncertain about, I marked “?” Of the rest, I am 100% sure on 90% of them, 90% sure on the rest. To answer your question, gluing the shells certainly does reduce their value, but these are all very common shells of little monetary value. The one of greatest value is Cymatium lignarium, which may sell for about $12.00 to $15.00 in perfect condition. There is no easy way to connect the names to the pictures since the shells are rather randomly distributed in the pictures. You can either look up the names online, to find pictures of the species to compare to your pictures, or add numbers to the pictures, in which case I can add the corresponding numbers to the names below. Regards, Paul Monfils LEFT PICTURE: Fasciolaria sp. (juvenile) (top left corner) ? Nassarius vibex Nassarius venustus Umbonium vestiarium (3) Phasianella solida Puperita pupa Trivia (Pusula) pediculus Natica pusilla Crepidula maculosa Aequipecten gibbus Columbella scripta (2) Drupella margariticola Terebra duplicata Melanoides torulosa Conus sp. There are several small white cones around the Caribbean area, very similar to one another, such as jaspideus, joanae, pomponeti, masinoi, fluviamaris, etc. This is one of them, not sure which, due to the extent of erosion. RIGHT PICTURE: Trivia (Pusula) pediculus Neritina (Clithon) oualaniensis (2) Drupa ricinus (immature) Nassarius vibex Olivella sp. (badly worn) Umbonium vestiarium (4) Aporrhais pespelicani (juvenile) ? Cymatium (Turritriton) lignarium Cypraea moneta Columbella (Euplica) scripta Bulla occidentalis Trochidae, species unknown (2) ? white shell (bottom right) ? |
