Fashion natural jewelryFashion natural jewelry BREEDING After five years collecting and studying thersites we find that the breeding habits seem to follow a fairly consistant pattern, give or take a few weeks here or there. October to January specimens are to be found on eggs. These are usually laid in a half valve of E. bifrons – color, golden-yellow; massed together by a gelatinous substance and numbering 150 to 200 eggs. The smallest living shell found was 17 x 10 x 8 mm., found in February. This was golden-yellow, paper thin and without trace of banding. During August and September many bulla Philippines shells may be found, with a saffron-yellow animal, contrasting with the black of the adult. By the beginning of October, the only trace of juvenile Philippines shells are those with a slightly protruding spire. Some of these have been found on eggs, so it would seem that from this and the clean undamaged appearance of other Philippines shells found on eggs, the full cycle from egg to laying adult is approximately twelve months. C. thersites seems to reach full maturity in that time. The old adult Philippines shells can easily be identified by the prominent growth scars, the diseased blotches, the pimples that develop on the dorsum, the thickening of the shell, and by the marks left from the terrific buffetting they receive in the rough seas and strong tides.
