Dear Dan;-
I don't know how you will find him---but the expert on Conus radulae is Carl
Sahlburg. He did some graduate work on the matter. He has even had a cone named for
him (C. salburgi) Carl lives in or north of Indianapolis. If you know any shellers
there, perhaps someone can find him for you.
