Shells abalone shell nuggetShells abalone shell nugget During periods of quiet water, skin and SCUBA divers find good collecting off Sunset Beach, including such species as Charonia tritonis, Conus abbreviatus, flavidus, pennaceus, and rattus have been collected. Also Cypraea gaskoini, mauritiana, and rashleighana, as well as Oliva sandwichensis, Strombus hawaiensis and maculatus. Charonia tritonis is usually found under the overhang of a ledge or in a cave. Probably this is why they are seldom washed ashore. I have also collected them from inside huge, hollow coral heads, living in peace with lobsters and moray eels. Some species of cones found on the north shore live under small coral rubble or coral heads, buried in the small amount of silty sand that usually manages to stay put under the coral, while other species lie exposed on the hard bottom. Shore collectors have found Cypraea cicercula, semiplota, nucleus, and one Strombus hawaiensis as a reward for that early morning trek to the beach when they managed to be the first collectors to arrive on the scene. In the coral boulders along shore fossil Cypraea ostergaardi have been collected.

It can easily be seen that in form, B. latior has more of an affinity for B. teres pellucens; more of the dentition of B. rashleighana. One wonders what is the correct answer to this paradox?
