Je mets ces deux Cylinder textile comme f. verriculum du Pacifique car leur dessin est franchement textile par contre ils sont très lourds; Je n' ai pas de taxons pour eux. On en trouve aux Tuamotu, Polynésie Française, Sri Lanka, Australie! Cette forme courte, large, trapue est peu commune. Et est sujette à discussion: Article de David Touitou http://www.seashell-collector.com/articles/2005/textile%20tuamotu/textile%20tuamotu.htm ! Taille: 58 mm.
I put these two Cylinder textile as f. verriculum of the Pacific because their design is frankly textile on the other hand they are very heavy; I do not have taxa for them. They are found in Tuamotu, French Polynesia, Sri Lanka, Australia! This short, broad, squat form is unusual. And is subject to discussion: Article by David Touitou http://www.seashell-collector.com/articles/2005/textile%20tuamotu/textile%20tuamotu.htm! Size: 58 mm.
Celui-ci m' est parvenu via Ebay sans info ni taxon. Je l 'assimile à C. textile f. verriculum pour sa forme générale. Il est très lourd, le corps est court, les épaules larges et la spire plutôt haute. Mais ce n 'est pas là son particularisme. Il a des stries spiralées très sensibles au toucher surtout sur le dernier tiers de la coquille, avant comme après sa ligne de repousse. Taille: 63 mm.
This one is come to me via Ebay without info or taxon. I linked to C. textile f. verriculum for its general shape. It is very heavy, the body is short, broad shoulders and the rather high spiral whorl. But that is not its particularity. It has lot spiral grooves very sensitive to the touch especially in the last third of the shell before and after his line of regrowth. Size: 63 mm.
