Item features: Type: Conus bandanus (Hwass in Bruguiere, 1792) Size: Impressive 112 mm (XL size for this species) Locality: Cebu, Philippines Condition: Naturally cleaned, superbly preserved structure, pronounced crown (spira) and high-contrast pattern. Description and special features: Conus bandanus stands out with its characteristic pattern of deep-dark, almost black tentacular structures on a white to cream-colored ground. Compared with the similar species Conus marmoreus, the banded marble cone is distinguished by two prominent, irregular bands of finer pattern elements that encircle the shell horizontally. The snail lives in tropical waters on reefs and sandy bottoms. At 112 mm, this shell ranks among the real highlights for any upscale mollusk and snail collection (Malacology) as well as for exclusive maritime decorations.
