Need help with Cypraea identifications

Since you are dealing with a collection of about 5,000 shells of which the Cowries are only a part and if you are consiering expanding the collection, you might find it worthwhile to invest in the Compendium of Seashells:

May seem a little pricy, but the quality and coverage is well worth it if you are dealing with world-wide shells.  <span class="petit">--Last edited by marlo on 2010-03-30 17:53:45 --</span>
