Conus tuberculosus Tomlin, 1937 (original combination) Profundiconus tuberculosus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Conidae, the cone snails and their allies.
[1][2][3][4] Profundiconus tuberculosus was believed to be extinct, and thus it is often represented with a dagger "†" as a fossil species.
Like all species within the genus Profundiconus, these cone snails are predatory and venomous.
They are capable of "stinging" humans, therefore live ones should be handled carefully or not at all.
This marine species occurs in Sagami Bay, Japan and in the China Sea; in the Pacific Ocean off the Tarava Seamounts, off Tahiti.
