Good question Ross. Thanks for all the reply on the sinistral colours, very
useful information.

My experience in Conidae:

C. ventricosus (mediterraneus) is rare when left handed but not impossible
to obtain. We had about 6 over the latest decade.

Apart from this, I've seen only two left handed Conus furvus.

The sinistral Gloriamaris are all fakes of course.

Look forward to further info.
