Conus draperi (Maury, 1910)

 

 

 

 

Diagnosis (1):

 

Shell large, surpassing in size all the other species of the genus yet found in the Chipola beds. General form conic, with eight whorls exclusive of the eroded nucleus; spire moderately elevated, not convex in profile ; last whorl distinctly shouldered; surface of shell eroded in small circular spots which may be an indication that the original color pattern consisted of small dark spots on a light ground. Transverse sculpture lacking except for faint lines near the base of the shell; lines of growth inconspicuous.

 

Length of shell 60 ; greatest width 38 mm. 


Chipola marls, Bailey's Ferry, Calhoun County, Florida. 


Cornell University collection. 


Named in honor of Mrs. Henry Draper of New York City.
