F+++. A deep water Conus textile with a pattern similar as the one found in Conus gloriamaris but more defined and with quite large tents. Shells with this shape have been figured in the literature as C. gloriamaris by even famous authors such as da Motta (La Conchiglia 13(150-151),1981). Several were sold at high prices, pretending they were C. gloriamaris. A large shell with an exceptional spire to put next to your Glory of the Sea.
Philippines. North of Bohol. Nocnocan Island. 10-25 m. 2012.
