Dear Sue,
The Columellar teeth of Cypraea Pantherina is more fine than Tigris and extending
onto the base on columellar side, also the aperture in the fossula is dull.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
If you want I can scan the base view of both and sent you by e-mail privately.
Best regards.
George
