Dear Coneheads,

Is there a web image of Conus terminus? I found a basket of Philippine
shells at a Dollar Store which had an unfamiliar cone in it. For a dollar,
I couldn't pass it up. Can some of you be indulgent and be understanding
with me?

Indeed it looks like C. striatus but the brown splotches are continuous and
not comprised of small lines. I assume that's what is meant in Compendium.

Is terminus a bit less common than most? If so, I'll be able to brag about
my bargain.

(Just found a $20 pair of sneakers that are just fine when there are plenty
for $35, $45, $65, etc, and they don't have much locality data either
besides the country).
