After leaving my camera turned off for a week there was enough charge in the battery to snap a few more pictures.
Here are shell fragments from another cone snail, the Black and White Cone (Conus ebraeus) collected along the beaches near Dillingham airfield. This is also known as the Hebrew cone; occasionally the markings can resemble Hebrew letters. I think a good modern name would be the Tire Tread Cone.
I'm not sure if the three smaller fragments at the bottom are C. ebraeus. [Update, these lower three might be the Vermiculated Cone (Conus chaldeus).]
