Help - the spell of the cypraea-revenger has stuck on me. My new message (answer on the freak grayana) is stretched beyond reasonable limits.
I will never - ever make jokes again ( in the following fifteen minutes).

Felix, can You help?

Your reply is stretched because the image posted by the previous posters is oversized, which will then stretch every post made on that page - a very common problem in forums.

The poster of the original post should have reduced the size of the images prior to posting them - I can't even fit the cowry on one screen!

Very special indeed - something like an incomplete or aborted double anterior terminal , but that seems not yet to exist (or does it?).Congratulations , Nice shell! if some day You decide to throw it away I will be Your humble servitor.

I could by the following shell from an old german inhabitant, who settled on a philippine island after a shipwreck. He pretends this is a rusty aurantium and that it is worth quite a lot of XXL mochito's.He found it himself at the risk of his own life and there was a very old and worn parchment label inside with the handwriting of - in alphabetic order : Guido, Felix,Pat, Luigi and PVDB. As my name was written on this 100% genuine label - something I absolutely do not understand, because I cannot write since the time my hand was amputated by a giant malicious tridacna monsteriformis - I presume that I had to recuperate this cribraria keulnatoriformis forma pagobensis and to put it in the section of the albino campfirensis. I swear You that all I tell You is absolutely incorrect on the stomach of the the pleuromotaria cornucopiensis (that by the way was not rapid enough the catch my remaining other fifteen hands.Stupid bivalve!).

I am back again - PVDB - may Your worst nightmare be a basket full of perfect cypraea midwayensis just 10 cm out of reach.Amen.
