Re: Sri Lanka - Conus ID
Thank you Paul,
      i'm happy to hear this.
What to you think about this 3, also from S.L.
                G.G.Duprét is talking about " conus canonicus " with white inside.

Is this " Conus canonicus " ?

    * Femorale also show canonicus from S.L.

Re: Conus ID
I would say #2 was textile. #1 and #3 may be canonicus. They may even all be textile!
Note the netted pattern is much 'looser' in these compared to abbas.
