Description

A large, natural seashell specimen of the species Cassis cornuta, commonly known as the Horned Helmet. This impressive shell features a solid, heavy body with a row of prominent knobs or "horns," and a wide, shield-like outer lip with orange and brown coloration. The item's measurements are 9" (H) x 11.5" (W) and it is in good condition, with natural imperfections consistent with a seashell.
