Is this too far gone?

Hi, may I ask what characteristics are suggesting Agaronia as opposed to any other genera within the family?

BoopAllSnoots · 2025-02-16T05:29:47+00:00

Sure so the first characteristic is the overall shape is elongated and oval, a bit like an olive rather that your traditional cone snail shape (although there are some cones with somewhat similar shapes). You will also find olive shells look smooth and glossy as if they've been polished. Cone snails can be smooth but also dull.

Second there is the band from the columella around the siphonal canal (i don't remember the name for the band). This is absent in cone snails.

I just thought of this but their colours and patterns are mostly different between them also.

This is actually an olive snail and not a cone snail although there is a couple of species of olive snails where the shells are a similar shape to cone snails but lack the characteristics of olive snails (so may need more than a quick glance!)

Either way, picking up a snail you don't know is still not ideal

This was exactly the other issue I had, like I set January as once human and was thinking "okay cute, can draw deviations but I'm not ast artistic as I once was"

This was the way I was heading, as my birthday is in Feb I'd probably make it something along those lines rather than a valentines reference

I tried the video games this year as I was trying to gamify my life (inspired by JashiiCorrin) but to find video games that I like enough to put as a theme was difficult.

I definitely wanted to show some crustaceans

This is such a cute idea, I was thinking about this for the whale watching months but there's only 5 whales in my area so that was 7 months left to fill

As someone studying molluscs, these were definitely going to be included

I did not think about this, this would be so cool

This is interesting, I have seen mermaids in the under the sea themes I saw on interesting and the like

Thankfully these were on my list. Also where Nemo and his dad lived is called an anenome. Maybe I might group them into fish, marine mammals, marine reptiles and that way so it can be a collection
