Mark,
Soooooo, what do you really think about WD-40? Have a great forth! Oh,
and I tried bleach on those yellowed shells to no avail. They are now a
variant form of whatever species of murex they are...Murex sp. (form
yellow).
One more item, I just got a Conus corallinus (Kiener). I know it must
not be a syn. for Conus cardinalis (Hwass) since they are from different
parts of the world, but they sure look like close cousins.
