The specimens in this collection are:
Cymbiola imperialis robinsoni 140 mm
Ericusa sowerbyi 135 mm
Voluta musica 60 mm
Amoria damonii keatsiana 80 mm
Melo amphora 100 mm
Melo melo 40 mm
Amoria zebra 40 mm
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 shells you will receive are the shells in the photos with this listing.
I used help verify names. I also use several shell identification books.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.My family and I have enjoyed these specimens for many years. Now you have the opportunity to enjoy them.
