Philippines jewelry naturalPhilippines jewelry natural What happened from that point on is not too clear. I distinctly remember indicating to Betsy that our decompression time/depth limit had expired and we would have to leave. The time in between the find and that moment is a complete blank. We both agreed later that neither of us had been so shaken underwater before. The effect was worse than seeing a shark. At least I had remembered what happened in such cases! After the dive, while sitting in the boat, an examination of the shells revealed the fabulous beauty of the Strombs. They far exceeded the coloration and loveliness of the fresh fragments that had been found in earlier diving. The shells were a myrid of color, ranging from the pink-purple of the protoconch, through the russet rays on the lip, to the blue-brown of the back. The very active and strong animal was cream-colored with round light brown spots on the foot and a brown proboscis covered with small, white spots. A pair of utterly fantastic almost human-like eyes gave the mollusk a look of intelligence and personality. Frankly, the enormity of the find left us a bit breathless. We had truly found the Philippine Strombus in his natural environment!

Among them, from about 200 fathoms, was an unidentified Turritella which looks similar to a very large Cerithium. Then moving into shallow water, for dredging, the Pele expedition collected a live C. cernica marielae, several of the ships namesake the Murex pele and the very rare Murex elongatus, formerly known as M. clavus.
