SOME VARIOUS CYPRAEAS
(COWRIES) TO DISCOVER HERE (Listings List). |
With this page, you can see all shells of Webmaster's Collection.
Please note that sizes are given to the nearest hundredth
because taken with a digital Caliper,
this, only so as to avoid eventual duplicates in each
species. |
Warning :
The "Sizes" of the Shells are
expressed in Millimeters (mm).
The "Quotes" offered in Euros are absent,
but can be requested from the Webmestre (P.o.r.).
On the other hand, for the Listing of the Nigerosted Cypraeas,
the "Stades" mentioned in the Descriptions of the Shells
were established in relation to the "Stages" mentioned in my
Book, so in comparison with "Mélanisme" and "Rostration"
for Species that Black and/or Rostrent (Eglantinas, Cauricas,
Stolidas, etc.),
the "Rostration" nevertheless take precedence over "Mélanisme",
and in comparison with the "Rostration" alone,
for those who Rostrent only (Erosas,
Clandestinas, Vitellus, etc.).
Notes :
In the descriptions, the following details
should be taken into account, namely:
- a) : 100.00% Niger is said when
black appears "black" to the eye under cover, but still presents
some lighter areas
when exposed to sunlight or has lights
Artificial (Leds lighting, in particular!).
- b) : 100.00% Niger "Intense" or
"Coal" are said when black appears "always black" to the eye,
even when exposed to solar or artificial
lights (Led lights, in particular!).
- c) : The Stadiums descriptions
(Stage 02, or stage 03--, etc.) are established in relation
to the stages mentioned in my book,
reference base.
Remarks :
The maximum "quality"
graduation of the shells will cap at "F-/Gem" for the most
perfect.
This gradation is based on expert
expertise with the naked eye without a magnifying glass.
All minor imperfections (Various micro-stries, air bubbles,
inclusions, coloured-discolored spots, holes,
hollows, depressions, various positive-negative reliefs, various
defects, etc.), revernies or even reconstructed by the Animal,
and/or difficult to detectable or
detectable without a magnifying glass, are included in this
maximum gradation. |
