Conus cinereus, common name the sunburnt cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[2]

Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans.

The species Conus cinereus Schröter, 1803 is a nomen dubium.

Conus cinereus Hwass in Bruguière, J.G., 1792

Description

The size of an adult shell varies between 15 mm and 57 mm. The shell is cylindrically ovate, with a moderate, smooth spire. The body whorl is encircled below by distant grooves. The shell is clouded with olivaceous, ashy blue and chestnut-brown, with revolving lines articulated of chestnut and white spots. The brown-stained aperture is wider at its base than at its shoulder. Conus bernardii is a color variant. The color of its shell is fulvous chestnut, with a few scattered white spots and chestnut revolving lines.[3]

Distribution

This species occurs in the Western Pacific Ocean from Japan to Indonesia.

gollark: Though it might be also a good idea to go the other way and use... buildroot or something?

gollark: Like I said, though, it may be a good idea to build off an existing Linux distribution (a lightweight one like Alpine), so you can get nice things like a package manager.

gollark: Very cool. I had the vague idea of bodging Alpine Linux a bit to directly boot into a CC emulator and then PotatOS, with a few services on the host to provide the ability to execute commands and whatnot from CC, but you... actually implemented something like that, which is a lot better.

gollark: But CC has previously made a bunch of breaking changes and "deprecated" (whoever wrote that on the old wiki does not know what it means) outdated stuff.

gollark: It *does* break compatibility if `setfenv` isn't available.
