hemipristis Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 they are the apex from modern cone snails. Locally, they're called 'puka shells'. Holes are drilled in the center of the smaller ones and they are threaded together into puka shell necklaces 1 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
