Conus sennottorum, common name Sennett's cone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.[1]
Like all species within the genus Conus, these snails are predatory and venomous. They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.
Locus typicus: "Off Campeche, Yucatan, Mexico."[2]
This species occurs in the Caribbean Sea and in the Gulf of Mexico., from West Florida to Venezuela.
The maximum recorded shell length is 46 mm.[3]
