Human: Cypraea pantherina Shell\nRegistration Number: CMM/DO/82\nDimensions: Width 43 mm, Length 75 mm\nMaterial: Calcium carbonate, conchiolin\nOrigin: Gift\nCreation Period: 1946-1970\nDescription: A shell of the Cypraea pantherina species from the family of cowries with an elipsoid shape that is strongly compressed from below. The whorls of the shell are completely surrounded by the last whorl and therefore invisible from outside. Along the entire length of the shell, a notched opening extends. The cream-colored shell is covered with orange-brown and blue-gray spots. At the base of the shell, orange spots are present. A light stripe runs slightly below the back. The base is white. The teeth of the radula and the external lips are white. The teeth of the radula are longer and thinner compared to the teeth of the lip. The shell is subcylindrical. This species is similar to Cypraea tigris.\nIt comes from a collection donated by Eugeniusz Michno, a Pole living in Florida. The collection gave rise to the natural history collections of the museum.\nhttps://collections.nmm.pl/Home/Details/2118-shell
