A Week’s Worth of Chipola Cowries – Day Six

06 Jun

An assortment of large specimens today…I believe that all three of the specimens in the first photo are Lyncina theresae Dolin, 1991. They were all collected in August 2000 from the reef facies, and range in size from 43 to 55 mm.

My final figured specimen for today is Zoila arlettae Dolin, 1991, which is larger than the more common Zoila willcoxi. This particular specimen (from a brackish sand facies) is 47 mm long. Unfortunately, it took a whack from a pick axe when it was originally collected back in October 1993.
