about eglantina griseoviridis

[paul monfils]

Yes, so-called "griseoviridis" are Cypraea eglantina with an opaque or semuitranslucent greenish overglaze. The name has no real taxonomic significance. It is just used to describe a particular shell condition which, I have been told by sources I consider reliable, is caused by a habitat contaminated with fresh water - near a river mouth for example.
