| Item | # 0002397192 | | Family | BIVALVIA | | Name | Cardium costatum - ULTRA-BIG; OUTSTANDING , (Linnaeus, C., 1758) |
| Size | 96.8 mm |
| Locality | Ivory Coast |
| Note | An outstanding ultra-large specimen of rare quality for such size. Nothing but the tiniest, typical loss to axial ribs towards the umbos, although even in this, the loss is far less than usual. Remarkably free from the typical substrate discoloration which detracts from the majority of ultra-large examples. Hollow interior of axial ribs completely free from substrate inclusion, very important for the connoisseur. Difficult to obtain at this size and quality now. Far more impressive 'in the hand' than any image can convey. One of the masterworks of Nature, and one of the most beautiful of all seashells when seen like this. Size: 96.8 mm (longest dimension). Grading: F++++. Data: Off Abidjan, Abidjan Autonomous District. Ivory Coast; upon mud/sand substrate; 10-20 m; dredged; 1994. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
