What is the star system?
The star system calculates the number of pieces that were handled by Conchology, Inc. in the last 21 years:
| 0 – 5 pieces | 6 stars |
|
| 6 – 10 pieces | 5 stars |
|
| 11 - 25 pieces | 4 stars | |
| 26 - 75 pieces | 3 stars | |
| 76 - 150 pieces | 2 stars | |
| > 150 pieces | 1 star | |
We want to point out that the star system is only very reliable for PHILIPPINE shells only, as we handle very few foreign shells in general. As time goes, the system will become more and more performant.

Remarks:
Clench (1957:132) noted that both Cerion marmorata polita Maynard, 1896 and Cerion polita maisianum Pilsbry, 1902 "apply to the same species." he stated that Maynard was in error in giving the type locality as Cabo Cruz, and that this species occurs only at Punta de Maisi, at the extreme eastern end of Cuba.
