| Item | # 0001894485 | | Family | Muricidae | | Name | Chicoreus insularum - HAWAII BEAUTY GEM , Pilsbry, H.A., 1921 |
| Size | 71 mm, w/o |
| Locality | Hanalei Bay, Kauai, Hawaii |
| Note | Chicoreus insularum (Pilsbry, 1921), from Hanalei Bay, Kauai, Hawaii, on reef in 15 m depth, with operculum, live taken specimen shell. The spiniest of all my pieces, a most elegant shell with unusually long spines all around the body. I selected the side view for the principal picture because it makes the snowy white and forked margin around the aperture clearly visible, the setback would be that the operculum is not visible from that angle: however, this hand picked shell comes of course with a genuine operculum on and is a fully documented Hawaii piece with authentic data, very desirable as these shells soon will have documentary value. Excellent condition and very clean, all natural and free of bites and irregularities, a very desirable specimen. |
