sixgill pete Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The cones are Conus sp. cf. C. largillierti. from the James City Formation. And the turitella looks like Turitella alticostata from the Yorktown Formation to me.. 1 Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done a bit of study on Conus - Conus adversarius seems common in the region; I have looked at largillierti also. I fond a page DEDICATED to Conus shells! WOW! For now, I shall be content to classify simply as Conus sp. I see traits common to adversarius and others, but I'm not ready to commit just yet! Still studying!
