Mark, The cones foot in the front is straight across. If you look at
it while is goes up an aquarium glass which doesn't happen to often.
Cones aren't as good climbing glass as Cowries are. The front of the
foot looks like it has thousands of tiny fingers moving. Thats why the
cones can dig in the sand so fast. The cowries look the same, but the
rest of the foot has muscle waves that move at an angle sideways.
