NOTES:
0) Since many cone species are extremely variable, and local varieties and forms often occur, taxonomic assignment of many named taxa is often in doubt: some will say "This is a species", while others will disagree. The assignments below are based upon the most recent literature for the most part, but there are still many disagreements excisting. If you don't see a specific taxa you are seeking, just use the search function on your browser (under "edit" usually), and you can find it that way. PLEASE NOTE that no effort has been made to include all of the many synonyms and invalid names proposed for Conus species since 1758. The ones included are those still in use by some collectors and shell dealers, in order to rectify some of the confusion around these names.
1) The images below are from various sources as credited. The taxonomy of most of the list was carefully researched by Paul Kersten with the aid of the most recent literature and various regional researchers such as Manuel Tenorio, who has also been of much assistance for the West African & ever-growing Cape Verde clan.
2) The images from Gene Mallory's excellent site (he kindly permitted us to use his base compilation of living Conus species and forms as the starting point for this list) are from a variety of sources but mostly his own collection.
3) Most of the "maximum sizes" are taken from Mr. Mallory's site for now. When we get the most recent copy of the Registry of World Record Sizes we'll modify these accordingly.
4) This is a "work in progress". If you see any errors or omissions we would be very grateful if you would point them out to us (email link) so we can make this list more comprehensive and useful as a resource.
5) If you the viewer have or wish to make images of Conus specimens which are better or significantly different from any of the images presented below we would be VERY glad to receive them - the more the merrier!!
The following taxa still
do not have illustrations. If you can be of assistance in this respect, your contributions
will be gladly recieved!!

Quite a few other taxa have only one photo (example: Conus anabathrum floridensis Sowerby 1870). Although we will soon augment many of these with a link to Eddy Hardy's awesome gastropods.com site, as well as more pix from Paul, we would be more than happy to recieve additional photos of these, in addition to the few "orphan" taxa above.
