Fashion jewelry asia During a short shelling holiday on the coast of Kenya, I collected two specimens of Cypraea marginalis, quoted as the rarest and most sought after cowry of the around 40-odd species occurring along the East African coast (C. C. Woltz & D. B. Belcher: in "Collecting seashells in Dar-es-Salaam"). The two specimens pictured [left], one in dorsal, the other in ventral view, were found in the shallow lagoon off Diani Beach, about 20 miles south of Mombasa, and had been lying in a sandy depression of the otherwise weed-covered bottom a few feet below low tide level, together with coral rubble and other shells that had apparently been washed into it Fashion jewelry asia

I nixed this theory, however, assuring him that it was a native of the West Indies. This established the date of the sinking as sometime after voyages to the New World had begun. Fashion jewelry asia
