Conus Mercator #10 32.3mm,
Linnaeus 1758
, EXQUISITE BEAUTY from Senegal
.  Found at low tide in 1-3 feet of water, in sand under a rock, Dakar,
Senegal
.  As the photos show, once again this is another great beauty from the African coast.   And I would have never believed it, but this sounds like a
terrific
place to go shell collecting!  No wonder we go shell collecting every chance we get!  And the mercator cone reminds me a lot of the cones we used to find in Hawaii, the crowns of which were typically covered with coral, (this was especially true of the imperial and the ebraeus cones), the coral damaging the crowns on those shells in a way very similar to what I've seen on these cones.  But like the Hawaiian cones, they're still gorgeous!
.  Anyhow, this vividly colored, even with it's damaged crown, is an exquisitely patterned beauty with a smooth body and nice lip, a gorgeous cone from an exotic location that will look
terrific
sitting on your shelf!
The perfect shell for a first-class collection.
As for normal disclaimers, we do the best we can with photos, but color is tricky, especially since cell phone cameras automatically lean towards flesh-tone coloring, (that's why so many of the photos of shells on eBay show up with more orange than is really there, the camera changes the color, and damm if I can figure out how to stop that from happening, but I try, honest!
As for feedback, as your know, sellers live and die by the feedback you leaved, (please leave fives!) so if you have a problem, just let me know!  After all, I'm retired, and all messages go directly to my phone, so unless I'm out shell collecting I will get back to you pronto-like!
Shell collecting!  Now there's a phrase that brings smiles to your eyes, doesn't it!
Anyhow, if you have read this far, you have my apologies and best wishes from those of us at IslandShells323.  And don't forget,
Home is where your collection is!
