Conus draperi
(Maury, 1910)
Diagnosis (1):
Shell large, surpassing in size
all the other species of the genus yet found
in the Chipola beds. General form conic, with eight
whorls exclusive of the eroded nucleus; spire moderately elevated, not convex in profile ; last
whorl distinctly shouldered; surface
of shell eroded in small circular spots which may be an indication that the original color
pattern consisted of small dark spots
on a light ground. Transverse sculpture lacking except for faint lines near the base of the
shell; lines of growth inconspicuous.
Length of shell 60 ; greatest
width 38 mm.
Chipola marls, Bailey's Ferry, Calhoun County, Florida.
Cornell University collection.
Named in honor of Mrs. Henry Draper of New York
City.
