Collection 19 Shells: Polymita picta, Murex Regius, Cyprea Tigres & more This fine collection includes: Polymita picta - a very hard to get land snail from one of the large Caribbean Islands. Orange bands Murex Regius - 100 mm One of the most beautiful of all the murex family Cyprea Tigres - 45 mm from the Philippines Lambis crocata - orange Spider conch Terebra Maculata Marlin Spike Auger 60 mm A brown land snail that looks a lot like Polymita picta, and maybe it is A polished limpet shell from the Philippines 40 mm A disk of abalone shell Cyprea moneta - the money cowry Cyprea hungerfordi from Japan Another cyprea 3 small shells conus ebraeus 3 other members of the conus family 135 mm Polished clam shell All of these shells are from my private collection and each was collected 1979 or earlier. I have tried my best to correctly identify the shells I am selling, but it is possible that I have made mistakes. It is sometimes difficult because of a range of color and/or shape within a species. As an example, an article in the April 1964 and September 1964 issues of Hawaiian Shell News describes how Voluta Damoni gradually changes along it 3000 mile coastal range from almost no color pattern to a very colorful pattern. Several species have sub species with a lot of variation. The sizes I list are approximate. The Polymita picta species comes in an extremely wide range of colors. The color range includes white, yellow, orange, brown, and black. They tend to have a very narrow white or black and white band across the other color.  Some scientists believe that the wide color range helps to protect them by confusing predators.  If you are not familiar with the Polymita pictado an internet search on it for more information, including where they live. The shells you will receive are the shells in the photos with this listing. I am grouping shells into a lot because I can then give a discount and also because you will save a lot in postage over what you would pay if you had to buy each shell separately. This set of shells can be shipped to most countries.  International shipping is exclusively offered through eBay International Shipping Program (ISP). Thanks for shelling with me.
