FIG. 5 in The Pleistocene Conidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda) from the island of Rhodes (Greece) and their palaeoecological significance

FIG. 5. — Colour pattern comparison between the extant Conus (Lautoconus) ventricosus complex species (natural light) clades (A, C1-C4) and Conus (Lautoconus) ventricosus rhodesensis n. subsp. from the Pleistocene of Tsampika, Rhodes (Greece) (UV light, inverted colours) (B). Thin dashed lines (A1, B1) include non-fluorescent bands, thick dashed line indicates the included spiral row of dashes. Encircled areas (A2, B2) are non-fluorescent spiral snowflakes in between the spirally arranged dashes. Depiction of five specimens of "Conus ventricosus" mitochondrial clades (green, violet and cyan, the latter divided into red and blue) of Abalde et al. 2023 (C). Note that specimens of the same clade have very different morphological and colour pattern characteristics (C3-C5).
