Gaskoin's Cowrie
Cribrarula gaskoini
Cribrarula gaskoini is a species of sea snail, a cowry, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cypraeidae, the cowries.
From the article Cribrarula gaskoini on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Range & habitat
This species is distributed along Hawaii and the Fiji Islands. The distribution of cowries in the Indo-Pacific is not arbitrary. Fossil evidence and patterns of modern endemism in the central Pacific and Indian Oceans suggest that speciation occurred outside the geographical limits of the Malay Archipelago. Cribrarula gaskoini from the Hawaiian Islands is clearly related to C. cribraria, which is distributed across the Indo-Pacific region. It is one of the most rarely found cowries on the Kwajalein Islands, as many other islands throughout the pacific.
