Conus caleocius (4)
 
Preservation is fair. Although the best preserved specimen 
(Fig. 41) is incomplete, it shows the diagnostic strong spiral 
ribs over the entire body whorl, noded body-whorl shoulder, 
and a row of small nodes immediately anterior to the suture. 
Previously, this distinctive species had not been reported 
as ranging stratigraphically into the “Capay Stage.”
