While I'm waiting for some more rare shell responses, I will ask
a question about a curious cone I have. Here is it's description:

It is small (approx. 27mm)
The spire is somewhat tall and heavily stepped,
resembling the spire of C. schepmani. (It measures 12mm)
The body whorl is squatter and broader than C. schepmani.
The color is white with small brown flecks that appear only on the
numerous, small, horizontal ridges that cover the body whorl. It is
lightly
glossy. It came off a broken carrier shell that came from the
Philippines.
Can any Conus experts help?

Thanks,
James
