Shell fashion jewelriesShell fashion jewelries The rather rare allied cowry Pellasinia deflexa (Sowerby 1832), was first collected by Mr. Neville M. Jennings in North Queensland in December, 1967. Since then other specimens have been collected offering Neville the opportunity to study and photograph this interesting group. The shells range from about 15mm to nearly 25mm in length. There is considerable color variation with the shells ranging from white through shades of blue to an almost violet hue with some shades of rose and light brown - (See photo 1, 2 & 3 [right].) The mantle is nearly transparent with tinges of color along the fringes and in the tentacles. (see photo 1 [right].) A more common Indo-Pacific allied cowry, Volva brevirostris, (Photo 4 [right]), is also collected in the North Queensland area with a near record size of 2-1/4" length being recorded. V. birostris is known from Japan and other areas. It is usually a dark brown color. Shell fashion jewelriesShell fashion jewelries "1.
