Note | EXTRA SPECIAL SALE - PART 2: Part two of my extra special sale comprised entirely of exceptional specimens from my private collection, representing highlights of my collecting and dealing career. Another opportunity to acquire outstanding and unique seashells from one of the world’s pre-eminent collections. PROVOCATOR CORDEROI: An exemplary specimen of this rare and unusual extreme deep-water species. Inevitable substrate discoloration limited to ventrum, and not visible in display. Extremely clean dorsum, with ultra-fine sculpture clearly discernible. Typically with major growth damage, the current specimen has but one disruption, again, towards the ventrum, and not visible in display. Now obtainable only from old collections. Outer apertural lip smoothed, as always. The original label from an unidentified collection, (which accompanies the specimen), indicates that the substantial sum of $350 was paid for the specimen in the late 1970s. Size: 63.7 mm (length). Grading: F++. Data: Off Stanley, East Falkland, Falklands Islands; upon mud/detritus substrate; 220-240 m; trawled; 1978. Provenance: 1. Unidentified collection; 2. JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
